I like this challenge! I have been able to bring myself to use my nice leather bags lately. But as I rarely go out, I’ve gotten lazy changing out. On average, I probably leave the house once a week. And when it’s for grocery shopping, though I take a bag with me, I only take my cellphone (which has my e-wallet app) inside the store.

I’m trying to get back to exercising now because I’m spending a lot of my free time baking. And baking equals eating more for me too, sadly. I wasn’t gaining weight when I was only baking breads, but when I started with cakes and pastries again (my long time hobby that went away some years back), there, I have seen my weight slowly going up! So I need to really exercise more!

Yum!!
Aside from baking, I’m also enjoying cooking with my InstaPot! Recipes that I thought I would never try, I’m doing now!

Happy to get some InstaPot recipes. You can DM me!

She’s doing well. Still super itchy, she’s one month in on a new allergy medication so we'll see. Surgery has healed and her fur is grow back. Thank you for asking! ❤

Thanks! :lol:
I needed it too!

Well - of course!! ❤
She's very dark... I'll see if I can take a better photo later!

Great stats!
I've been eyeing Valextra and Moynat - they're beautiful bags!

I'm not fond of Epsom either, but I do like it for SLGs - it does wear well!
Your Kelly wallet sounds lovely (in spite of the Epsom :giggle:), show us a picture please?

Thank you @Cookiefiend. I agree with you on both Valextra and Moynat as well as epsom! :tup:

For @cowgirlsboots (and anyone else interested :giggle:) - my favorites shelves.
View attachment 4918654
These are books I’ve read many times and books that have made me think “I love this book”. It’s missing “Dandelion Wine”by Ray Bradbury, but that’s only because it’s on another shelf with my other RB books. It’s been a over a year since I read a book I loved - that was “News of the World”.

That’s a great idea! I love your favourites bookshelf. My favourites are The Book Thief, All The Light We Cannot See and The Grapes of Wrath, you have two copies?

Thank you so much @More bags !
The lady who bought the handbag I mentioned took two others (of the very cheap and extremely useless kind which I only bought to have the chain straps) off my hands, too. They don´t count for my stats, though.
She did a true raid through my classifieds listings. I posted her a 10kg box with boots and coats and bags today... yippeh!
Once she commits and asks me to box her purchases up I do not have to worry about payment anymore. It´ll be in my bank account soon. She has been buying from my listings for quite a while. She has my bank info saved, I have her address saved... :smile:

The more expensive bags I have listed don´t seem to be going anywhere, though.

Yay, that is awesome - congratulations! :yahoo:

Make sure you have room for a thicker sock if need be.

In reality it was four bags. One bag I didn't count in as I bought it on final sale, but it was to heavy for me so I sold it. If I hadn't used posh it would have been a slight profit but as it was I broke even. Someone got a great deal on a gorgeous bag and I don't have a pretty bag that I can't carry taunting me in the closet.

Well done on the fourth out, as well, @dcooney4. You do a really good job on managing your bag wardrobe!

I was looking for an exercise machine on Amazon and some of these popped up. I hadn't heard of the them either. The main reasons I got it was because no assembly was required and it may help with bone density. After I got it, I was confused as to what I should do on it. I watched some videos. I do each exercise for only a minute. The machine changes the speed of vibration every minute if you use one of the presets. With each exercise, you can feel it in your muscles after a few seconds. There are some exercises I don't think are very compatible with the machine, although others seem to do them. If you don't keep your knees slightly bent, it jars your head too much. It doesn't work well for me on sitting exercises as it is too jarring, but I really like it for standing exercises. I think you could probably dance on it and get benefits. After I'm done, I feel really good, like all my muscles are loose and relaxed. Since I got it, I haven't missed a day. Often I look forward to using it because of how I feel afterwards.
