I'm liking the sound of that, although will have to be done online as there's no shops near me :( , the last thing I bought myself was a barely used laptop but got a fantastic deal on it as it one of my OH's workmates that was selling it 🙂 wanted to go shopping when I was in Dundee at the hospital but due to having another appointment in another town had to jump on the first bus back (which meant injecting, eating on the way out the hospital door and jumping on the bus 2 minutes later lol) xxx
 
You guys all seem obsessed with bags, my obsession is trainers haha :D x

Funnily enough I bought a new bag today too (simply because the other scores of them must be feeling lonely I'm sure!) :D

I love shoes but I've got awkward feet that don't like the way they fit! 🙄 funnily enough handbags always fit! 🙂

I'm on the same wavelength as Imelda Marcos on these matters (however not at the expense of the poor!) 🙂

This point may be wasted on the very young on here like Kaylz. Good for you. Nothing needs to change because you have diabetes!

I made an Imelda Marcos reference to a intern in our office and they looked at my blankly...
Have so far resisted the Buying-of-the-Bag, but with new pump stuff I might just treat myself. Thanks Kaylz for the inspiration ☺️

I have no idea about pumps and the things that go with it but with the effort you have been putting in to everything you definitely deserve to treat yourself so go on girl 🙂 xx
 
I have a blue case I like to take out. It's smallish. Kind of like one of those large rectangular pencil cases you used to get at school. I like to use that.

I also have handbag. And a rucksack. I never really did bags before.

The pumps do require more stuff to be taken around. I have spare cannulas in every bag, in every room in the house, and even a few at my friends houses where I stay regularly.
 
I do that with Dextro tabs, Amberzak, always with my Libre reader in a pocket.🙂
 
Ah ha,,,

Diabetes turns women in "bag ladies"

Oh yeah, nice bag, Kaylz.😛:D😛

Kookycat put me on to Kipling bags - lots of compartments so I know exactly where things are in brain-fuzz hypo-mode - and a "free" gorilla key ring!:D
 
I am an out and out confirmed bag lady. Well known for it. :D

I have tons of bags, tons of scart leads, I keep everything and all the family offload onto me and don't feel guilty then about wasting stuff. Some of the stuff goes to the charity shop and some gets sold on ebay. That way I can keep all the stuff avariciously, but if someone buys it the rule is it has to go. Gets a bit ridiculous sometimes, I sold a book and the rule there is I read it before I post it out, have 100s so can't read them all, but this way I get through them. Didn't have time to read this one so sent the book and went to read it from the library! I'd never have got round to reading it otherwise though.

Anybody wanna buy a bag? Scart lead? Nice armful of watches? 😉
