This is an advisory piece for all the men out there:
If your wife is feeling a bit low due to a long, protracted illness, interminable dark mornings, a wilful daughter and a stressful job, and she decides to spend some of her Christmas money cheering herself up by buying this:
....when she shows you her new purchase, DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT say:
"Another handbag?"
It will not be well received!

Did you hit him over the head with it! It is lovely and obviously well deserved.
Ouch! What a nasty thing to say! Do you ever say, 'Not another football match? You don't even support Stoke City...'
Hmmm... best not go down that road too far!
Studentmum - no, I just feigned disappointment and said "A woman can never have too many handbags"
Catharine - What a good idea - "Another football match"! Could use that one tonight, actually.
I am sure he wouldn't dream of doing such a thing.
Would he?
Recaro says stuff like that whenever he sees me with a book. Or if I'm blogging.
Come to think of it, I get that sort of comment whenever I do something that's not about him...
It kind of washes over me by now.
At which point did you kick him? I have the same problem when I buy DVD's.
'More rubbish' is the comment I usually get
Ha ha!! But they never learn do they!
We have the same comment with clothes - of course, he wears the same pair of jeans for weeks!!! I like the bag and approve!!
That's a great handbag, but do you have shoes to match? I suppose you'll have to go all the way back to the shops, again, if you don't. Sigh. ;0)
Ah Radley porn !
I like the "another football match" line muchly
Thanks for the advice, I'm grateful. Honest!
Dotterel - see, I'm providing a service here along with my drivel. You wife will thank me!
Mean Mom - shoes? Hadn't thought of that. Thanks!
When he treats himself it is an essential. When we treat ourselves it is a luxury.
Well he is a man, and they don't really 'get it' do they!!
;)
Gah, bloody men, what's the matter with them?
It is a fact, a FACT, that a woman can never have too many handbags. And shoes.
And if he disagrees send him my way, I've perfected that particular argument down to a fine art!
I love it! Good for you!
Thanks for the soup recipe, can't wait to try it too.
Ooh, no, not good. Especially following on from the M-i-l and pantomime episode.
Nice bag.
Why don't men get it? They could have us wrapped around their little fingers if they would just got out of their way to be nice sometimes. I know that's like asking a leopard to change his spots, I'm just sayin. Things would go so much better for them if they just throw something nice out there once in a while.
For instance, wonder if that afternoon had gone any differently for him if he had said, 'Good for you for doing something nice for yourself. You deserve it, sweetie'. Bam. Easy as that and then he has a happy wife.
Oh my... It's ADORABLE. Love it.
Men! Honestly. No such thing as another handbag.
Oh that is a gorgeous bag! A woman can never have too many.
Great bag and next time he makes some cheeky comment like 'Another one?' you could reply 'Yes, like another toothbrush, another pair of socks, another razor, another tie!'
Bags wear out and we do use them every day in all weathers!
I get that with shoes!! Men just don't understand.
Perhaps we should say that with beer..."Another beer"? Im sure it would go down like a lead balloon!!
Oh yes, sounds very familiar!
Repeat after me: 'A girl can never have too many handbags' !
