Oh there's absolutely no doubt my Mum will likely ruin the bag (not entirely, but she won't look after it like You or I would), but I figure it's her bag, it needs to "look" like her, if you know what I mean?
Yes, I will first have to overcome the *need* to check on her bag *before* I should go down the same route as you, GF. Otherwise, I would just die. She'd find me annoying I am sure.
