Don't Do It

It's amazing what ideas can come into a person's head when they are not in a fully functional (under the weather) state of mind! I do hope you are starting to feel better already, GF. 
allaboutbags:First of all, what a sweet and reasonable DH you have!!Hope you feel better soon, GF.
Ditto. I have everything in a spreadsheet.DH insisted after my ex-SA in NYC took the liberty of charging SO MANY (and yes, as in my eyes almost popped out when I saw the statements!) bags on my Amex (some that I didn't even order or want!) in a span of 3 months
about 7 years ago.
Long story short, she just kept on "selling" me bags and shipping them to my addresses in the east coast while I was in Asia without even the courtesy of a phone call.She wouldn't stop even after I called to tell her I didn't want any more bags. So, after the 3rd month, I flew back to NYC, went to the 2 apartments and picked up all the bags, returned about 5 bags, kept the rest. She was fired shortly!
It was really "traumatic" for DH so from then on, he wanted me to be able to tell him how much he has "invested" in my H bags anytime he asks!
Second, what a horrible SA!! I hope you like her replacement. I'm curious, what was the reaction of the manager when you went to the store? Did they say anything about not accepting returns after ten days? Did they refund your $$ or just give you store credit? Did you love the bags you kept?
Me neither.......Why suffer? LOL. Needless to say it's 1:39 am and I still have tons of studying to do for a Final that is a day away. PRAISE THE LORD FOR CAFFEINEEE....
Well you have a FAB H collection in exchange for that figure! p.s. go check your Post Office Box GF, you should be pleasantly surprised

Oops, GF! Don't mean to hijack the thread.
By the way, remember to keep your mind a little "foggy" when you add up the receipts - things NEVER look so bad when it's a little "foggy" - heh!
At this point, my DH just thinks I'm crazy/loony or whatever and has decided to accept my obsession about bags. (Resistance is futile!)
I never spoke to the manager, I packed up the bags I wanted to return, sent them with a note via a messenger to the store (same day delivery). Heard that the SA got dressing-down and I got a refund via my credit card - no questions asked. Love the kellys, birkins and bolide that I kept...
Don't shop much in the NYC store anymore except maybe once a year - work with an SA who transferred from my local boutique. Like my two SAs here in Alaska much, much better...

I calculated my stuff before and stopped doing it ... or even better, reduced my number of visits to the boutique which in turn reduced my number of purchases dramatically.

good gad, GF -- how could you NOT know that was a horrid idea? perhaps you are suffering from a case of brain fever? feel better! and destroy the paper with the total on it -- with luck you won't remember any of this when you emerge from the delerium that has clearly overtaken you.
Ive been keeping a spreadsheet of bags since I got my second one. But nothing could bring me to include scarves in the tally. Nothing.
Hope you feel better soon, GF!

So, I'm at home, sick as a dog with a terrible head cold and strep throat infection (lovely mental image, I know), when I happened across all my Hermes receipts from 2006 and thus far, 2007. So I took a calculator, and started adding.......
Well, my advice to all of you, if this idea ever stikes your fancy is....
DON'T DO IT.
What were you thinking, woman??? That is NOT the way to feel better! LOL!!
Have some chicken soup with a martini chaser - now that should make you feel better! Get well soon, GF!
