Bought My Radley

[Kaz]

Beautiful I have never heard of sunrise leather though, it looks like a high quality nappa to me

It looks lovely and the dog is almost hidden, I spotted it in the final photo

Not sure I could spend that much on a handbag though, but it is lovely quality

Ah! The Dog Tag is removable

I've got this thing that I do. I get my income every three months and it varies from quarter to quarter - sometimes up and sometimes down. So on a good quarter I treat myself to something I want but don't need. Desirable sunglasses, special boots, a beautiful handbag! Fun Faux Furs! Years of working with no money left for treats I get enormous pleasure indulging myself. Could call this My Guilty Pleasures

So this quarter I bought myself some Tom Ford sunglasses and this bag.

Up so early because sixteen year old Grandson has Schoolitis and keeps pulling a Sickie when we know he isn't ill so I am here at the ready with Daughter's house keys ready to trot round and hurl abuse at him and yank him out of bed! Not a pretty sight

[miasmum]

and so you should Fugi they shouldn't even be guilty pleasures, just pleasures

Good luck with the grandson

I love a bit of guilt mias-mum

Two phone calls, three text messages and one text reply from him and no need for me to haul him out of bed. This takes from 7.15 until 8.45 until we both know he's actually up, showered and left the house! Nightmare He's the only one from both sides of the family who wasn't born with the Work Ethic Gene!

Leave him! Let him take the consequences of his own actions ie serious hassle from school!! Not easy but the best way in the long run.....................

We've done that Kaz! He has had the serious hassle but that in turn gives my Daughter more hassle via teacher emails, phone calls while she's at work. Last time they needed to meet Daughter at the school to discuss Things I went in her place and he was borderline being excluded!! Lengthy discussion with two teachers fighting his corner against another two teachers who want him gone. Me and the two teachers who were fighting his corner won and the aim is to keep him in school until the exams and end of term and then college in September.

He isn't rude, he isn't a trouble maker but he won't take his ear-ring out, he wears dozens of those bracelet things and refuses to take them off, he refuses to wear the school blazer, tuck his shirt in, homework always late or none at all yet-he is clever and gets good grades (imagine if he actually tried) and just won't fly under the radar.

So all this is to keep him in school as a RHINO!

[Kaz]

Oh dear Perhaps college will suit him better - although they won't nanny him there if he doesn't do the work, they'll just fail him

I was browsing the Radley site last night because I do really need a decent cross body bag.
Just up in the corner I noticed a 20% offer code...and a bag just mysteriously somehow appeared in my basket, as if by magic

Please don't all bring your doggies to the meet will you
