Lol I love cheese too. The food in NY is just fab, so much variety. Mozzarella sticks are my absolute favourite... Nom!

That's a shame about the RM. Its a lovely colour and style. Very different from your LV. But IKWYM, if you don't love it best to get your money back and keep your wardrobe space ;)

Moving is proving to be stressful and disappointing tbh. We found the most perfect new house a couple of weeks ago which we were just about to reserve. But another couple reserved it from under us while we were doing a site visit! Been so disappointed about that as it had absolutely everything we wanted. 4 double bedrooms, study, double width drive, south facing garden... Its hard to imagine we'll find somewhere else as perfect.

Been on the market for a month now and only had 2 viewings booked, both of whom cancelled last min! Nothing is selling, I blame this bloomin' referendum! Safe to say I'm voting remain ;)

NYC will be such an exciting opportunity for you and DH and also a big change. Is it definitely happening? Id also be apprehensive, but try to look on it as life is short and its an adventure for you both. Exciting times ahead. x

Awww that stinks! :sad: Well I say it just wasn't mean to be. You will find something better. I wish you the best of luck with your continuing house hunting.

so...bag buddies, what do you think about this. My friend told me that I should invest in jewelry and not bags. She said you have nice bags but why don't you put that money in diamond jewelry. I do have lots of bags and I don't know why I can't stick with just 1 or 2 nice bags. I promise myself that if I get the ultimate wish bag, I'll stop buying bags, LOL I haven't found it yet and I can't stop either.

What is do you think jewelry or bags?

Omg that's a hard choice Nan! :panic: I flit between bags and jewellery, depends on what has piqued my interest at the time. I think you have to go with what you love otherwise its not going to get worn.

That is such a shame about your house, it just means a better one is around the corner! Our house is a new build corner plot with wrap around garden that is East, SE and South facing. It is the one thing I would always want in a house now. Even in Jan/ Feb it can be warm enough to sit in the sun (not in a t shirt though!) as the garden is a sun trap. So don't be tempted to go for any other type of garden, we get so little sun it is important to be able to enjoy it. I am sorry your viewings were cancelled, it really is annoying. I do think this EU vote is putting things on hold. I just we knew more of the facts rather than all the stupid arguing and scaremongering!

The NYC move has been talked about on and off for a while but it is starting to look more likely as time moves on. His boss hasn't mentioned it since we have been back, so maybe it will fizzle out. I hope you have more luck with the house hunting!

:ty:
Your house sounds beautiful with that orientation garden! Just what I'd like. Moving is never ever simple. Hopefully things will improve after the vote. I completely agree, fed up with all the scare mongering, hard to distinguish fact over fiction now.
Keep us posted about NY, the moving talk sounds a little unsettling, hope a great decision is reached for both you and DH :)

I buy both because I love both, not for an investment. Unfortunately, unless you're buying Hermes, Chanel, ect....handbags are now that great of an investment no matter whose name is on it. You won't get what you paid for them much less more. And jewelry isn't much better. A lot of people think diamonds are a great investment but unless you have documentation of where the diamond came from (modern diamonds), it's hard to sell. Most jewelers won't buy used diamonds. You can use a piece of jewelry as trade in if you're trading up but I'm not sure how much you will get for it. Some of the Brand jewelry like Cartier, VCA, Chopard, Rolex do hold their value in the resale market.

I say buy what you love, regardless of what it is, & enjoy it. For investments, consult a financial adviser or invest in land & real estate. Investments are always tricky; the market goes up, the market goes down.

Thank you CD for those words of wisdom. You are so right on. I Just needed a reality check. Purses and jewelry collecting are just hobbies. Lol I never made any real profit from them. I once brought in a ring that I bought for $100 to a pawn shop and he said it's worth $10! I'm selling an mk studded Hamilton in excellent condition for $130 but don't even have a bid!
I'll just buy things for fun check and with financial adviser for real investing! Where I am real estate is hot especially in the rental market. I keep on saying "tomorrow is another day". I'm actually in good shape for the future, won't be too rich, but won't end up in the poor house! Knock on wood!

Have a great week! If you're local, love to have you as my BFF!

Personally other than charm bracelets(and very picky on those too) i do not like jewelry, so obviously don't wear it.

I do know gold prices have risen but jewelry is no stable investment either, not saying handbags are either.. :laugh:

Basically, it's about what gives *you* joy. I'd buy the LV over the diamond ring, my mother would buy the ring. :p

Hi HS, I love charm bracelets too! My friend has one that has all these charms that meant something to her. Is yours like that too? My mother would buy the diamond ring too! :laugh:
Bags are definitely giving me lots of joy right now but I can't seem to find the "one" that would satisfy my craving. I bought an expensive Gucci yesterday but then wanted to get another bag. I don't think I'm investing in anything, my bags are not worth that much when I sell them. Oh well, I'll just keep on buying them and carrying them.:D

I came across this bag on eBay and love it, but when I messaged the seller asking for more pics, specifically of the stitching/lining, the labels on the inside of the bag where it gives the model/serial number and the country its made in and the heat stamp and got a response of "my friend put this on for me and there's pics of the lining/stitching", so I replied and asked for pics of the the labels on the inside of the bag where it gives the model/serial number and the country its made in and the heat stamp and got a response of "my friend will be around on Sunday so I'll ask her about them".

Having looked at their feedback, seems they sold a fake MK bag in the past year.

http://feedback.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAP...Seller&keyword=272272696661&searchInterval=30

I dunno, seems a bit fishy/off to me.

I am NOT saying the bag is fake, but the fact she seems reluctant to send pics and is waiting for her friend to take them seems funny to me, especially as the bags ends at 8:56am Saturday morning......
