BAG, PHONE AND LAPTOP SLEEVE

Super exciting title!! Life has been pretty quiet lately and so not really much to blog about.

So here’s a picture of the new handbag I treated myself to. A month or more ago I saw a bag I liked in the bag shop in town – I ummed and aahed and ended up leaving it – it was on special reduced from about $60 to $25. Anyway I kept thinking about it and decided to go back and get it a couple of days later and of course it was gone.

I spotted this little number last week – loved it but was kind of expensive ($80) but I wandered off round the shop and kept thinking about it and thought well I’m damn well not going to do the same thing as last time and so…. I just bought it.

Now the phone – well I treated mine (a work one) to a session in the washing machine and it wasn’t at all grateful!! Being a work one there’s lots of restrictions on its use and you can’t do half the things you’re supposed to so I decided what the hell I’ll buy my own one – use it for work as required and so claim it on my tax. I did my research and ended up buying this little cutie – I just love it – always wanted a flip phone. I bought it outright and just using it as prepaid but loving the fact that I can check Face Book, surf the net if I need to and check my emails as well as all the usual things. And so far it hasn’t even cost me that much.

Wanted one of those nice little sleeves for my laptop – it’s so dinky that it will fit either in the front of my hand luggage or even in the above mentioned handbag. Anyway to get one small enough (12.2ins) the only choice locally was at Dick Smiths – boring black and $50. Time to get on EBay I thought – and here was this one going up in Hong Kong. Got it for less than $20 including postage and it’s so much prettier.

Need to get my A into G – only nine weeks today till we leave for our trip – and I really want to get another couple of kilos off – I’m still 4.5kgs lighter than the start of the year but really 4.5kgs loss in six months isn’t terribly much to brag about! So maybe this week I can try and increase the count to ten pile.

So not much news from the Tart - hope everyone is well - I do check you all out regularly but have been a bit slack with the commenting - hard to type when you've got your coffee in your hand and you're rushing off to work - pretty poor excuse I know.

Take care my lovelies - especially the beautiful Briony who has had rather a rough ride lately but like the classy lady she is - is floating to the top again!!

Love Z xx

You lover of gadgets - you have to get a thermomix - www.thermomix.com.au - the kitchen machine that makes everything AND CLEANS ITSELF.

Nothing like a bit of retail therapy to brighten your week! Love the handbag, looking for a new one myself, but cant find the one that is just right.

Just love the handbag. I have a thing for handbags:-)

When you said you have only 9 weeks until you go away - thanks that gave me a lightbulb moment, I counted and we have just 12 weeks, this should I hope be the motivation I need!

I beg to differ.. there was quite a bit to share here! My last ph was a flip-phone. I like that style, but went with something different this time.. & not overly thrilled with the practicality of it. However, like you, I do enjoy being able to check emails or post something to Twitter on the side of my blog while out and about.

I think it's good you went back and got the handbag.. it's a nice one.

Nice purchase from Honkers too.. well done. Best wishes with losing weight before the trip!
