Great party plans, Murphy.
Had a busy Sunday... making lebkuchen, sorting though papers, getting some gifts ready...
Had also a quick talk with our landlord. He is a bit upset as no one is showing up at the Mackerel lately. He believes we have found another bar somewhere. Tried to talk him out if this idea, but to no success. We need to cheer him up.
(And we NEED to get Remainsilly drunk on some cheap champagne. So we can hold Vicky for a while without her noticing it. [emoji83])

Man in my life nailed it, with choice, this 2nd time.
Bag I like & will use.(Victoria II 35, black)
He added, "We could get a kitty-shaped coin purse. Or something. To go inside."

Believe my reaction to surprise was as follows:
a) said that I felt nauseous & confused:sick::shocked:
b) burst into tears, touched about kitty idea:crybaby:
c) tore into box & announced that I had to run around garden awhile :presents:
d) ran around garden, without coat in cold, flapping arms maniacally :woot:
e) returned inside & asked, "Is there a matching wallet?":speedy:

Man was thrilled.
Seems the Boot Fairy failed in her duties.
Thanks for sharing my weird joy.:love:

Wow! Love that he tried again, love that you love it, love his idea about the kitty-shaped coin purse, and I absolutely adore the image of you running around the garden, flapping your arms like a deranged chicken (I invented the part about the chicken, but that was definitely the picture that popped into my head).
Congrats on your new bag... wear it in good health! :flowers:

Am so pleased to hear your views on her!
Maybe not super popular style on tpf, but I really like, also. Especially in neutral colors. And a couple of the brights.

:whut:Urm. Is thermal underwear "really good?"
I'm sure the love-scales will balance somehow.;)

[emoji102] Woah! What do I see here?! A black beauty that came in an orange box? *faint* [emoji79]
Vicky is fabulous! And your reaction is normal not weird. [emoji74] Very happy for you, my friend! Your man is a keeper. [emoji76]
(Hehehe - I hope you won't send any bag ninjas after my bags, now. [emoji78])

I'm still obsessed with Swoopy. :loveeyes:And wonder when she'll go adventuring.

Omg, am glad vic is black!
I predict a twilly never will touch her handles--only my greasy little fingers. And a dog nose.:rolleyes:

However, no mole rats. They'll chew the lining.

Am shocked he tried again, actually.
He mentioned hermes didn't give him free cappuccinos, unlike mulberry store.
So is holiday miracle that I got to do the deranged chicken run.:giggle:
I like kitty purse idea, too. :kitty:

Coat + bag = walk.
In dog-speak.
Even when people just return home & hang up gear.

Thank you! [emoji173]️
That bag is so ridiculously lightweight. If I were a wiser woman I would sell all my bags and replace them with a Cuir rainbow. But, that would be drop dead boring, wouldn't it?
Mariapia - what colour do you want to get in the sale?
