    I'm sure Mrs.Goat wouldn't mind me giving away her HERMES Blue Jean Epsom Birkin. Won't she be surprised and delighted at how much storage space I've managed to crate for her. :rolleyes:

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    You'll be divorced within minutes if you do that :p Unless you're willing to put a new Birkin in all the free space you have..!

    I think the divorce and lifelong alamony payments would work out cheaper. :D

    Laughing out loud here, it's probably true!

    I've never understood the facination for bags myself. I can see why €600 on a pair of Louboutins might be vaguely justifable but I can't even come close to fathoming pricetags of €thousands on even lower end designer bags.

    I think our antiques category would be the best place for that. :p

    In a thinly valed thread bump:
    How many handbags do you currently own? Mrs.Goat has a paltry 5 (that I can recollect) and two of those are clutches rather then handbags. Would that be deemed as a low or very low count?

    Hi there, I was wondering if your bags have to be sold on the site to qualify for the competition or just have them for sale??

    Thanks :)

    As long as you have them up for sale, you're in with a chance. :)

    I have loads :o Not that I use them all mind! I have a HUGE Marc Jacbos tote for lugging my laptop/notes/diary/books around in for college, and then a shoulder bag from Urban Outfitters for day to day. After that, a few wee bags for nights out. One of the best has to be a massive fire engine red Hello Kitty back pack.

    I will, definitely! I told my mam too, so she's gonna go looking in the bag trunk. Yes, there's a trunk.

    So Mr Goat, will you be selling a few of your wife's handbags? You could use the proceeds to buy that nice smashey chap a beer the next time you meet him. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I have 3 bags. One black, one brown and one navy.

    According to Eddie that is too few and I should have a white one (*shudder*) and a pink one. Therefore I think the voucher should be given to me because I am clearly deprived.

    Just thinking about this Janey, and I think one would be enough for you. Keep the black one and sell the other two. :p

    We've been through this, Edward. I need all three for days that I don't want to wear a black bag with a navy dress. :p

    Ok. Which brand would you recommend in your new role as fashionista?

    It all depends what you are wearing. Dunnes have a rather fetching shade of green on their bags while Tesco have a shocking blue. Moving north now and Asda have a nice green while Sainsburys have a lovely orange colour on theirs. There you go Janey, all your major outfits perfectly coordinated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,488 ✭✭✭pikachucheeks


    Nice prize :)

    I have lots of bags, but none that I'd be willing to sell at the moment ... I like my kitsch rubbish! :pac:

    Ah now. You're bound to have at least one that you look at and think "that is soooooo last season." :D

    Hmm the question is am I willing to move north in the Autumn so that I can coordinate a Sainsburys bag with the autumnal colours in my outfits? I reckon I am.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,488 ✭✭✭pikachucheeks

    Haha :D

    None of my bags are trendy at all ... Most of them have either Hello Kitty or various fruit on them! :o

    I use all my bags, but good luck to everyone who posts stuff on Adverts!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 810 ✭✭✭ha-ya-said-what


    Count me out I'm very good, I gave away like 30 or more bags & just kept the ones I use & intend to use :D

    ...... It's kinda weird having space in the room now!

    Janey, I've found the perfect bag for you. Get that, ahem, nice boyfriend of yours to splash out and tell him I insist he buys it.

    Aw thanks, Edward. Unfortunately my boyfriend lost all of his money in a terrible accident involving...an eagle. Yeah, his money was stolen by an eagle. So he can't afford it. But thanks for the heads up. :p

    Ah Janey, that's terrible. Tell me, was it a bald eagle or a golden eagle?

    Anyway, I might buy it for you myself. :p

    Bald. He doesn't have enough money for a gold eagle to want it. :p

    Thanks! You're very good.
