    Yes, handbags! Or more to the point, a half of ton bag of fake leather filled with god knows what which my misses persists in lumping around with her everywhere she goes...swinging it around on her forearm. I've christened it The Baby, it causes more bother than enough what with it getting in her way and mine <grr> Handbag rant over! Anyone got similar handbag woes?

    Why don't you start weighing it down? Start off slowly but keep filling it up over time with some form of weight.

    <laugh> Yes, a few small but heavy weights might do the trick. Knowing my missus, she probably wouldn't realise <doh>

    When she asks for you to look for something in there, and you're addamant it's not there, and despite you rummaging around at least 3 times, she manages to find it almost instantly

    This, it will be hidden in amongst all the bloody receipts she collects in there

    Mine has a huge collection of both fakes (bu apparently top quality fakes) and genuine ones. She fills them with purses, wallets, credit card holders and then puts all her credit and debit cards loose in the bag so she spends 5minutrs each time she needs it claiming she must have lost it.

    And dont start me on handphones and chargers.

    This. Its the fact that the carrying arm becomes redundant and therefore fifty per cent of arm usage is lost. Ive seen my missus empty things from the boot...yes I let her do this sometimes...while burdened by The Baby on her arm. She won't let go of it.

    Never like travelling by air with mine as I always have to wait for her in Security while they delve into the deepest parts of her handbag, eventually pulling out a spot squeezer that she didn't realise was in there.

    Does anybody else's have a similar discussion with their partner that goes something like this....

    'wheres that £20 note?'
    'in the kitchen'
    'where aboots?'
    'in the cupboard'
    'which cupboard?'
    'corner one'
    'which corner?'
    'next to the washer'
    'bottom or top cupboard?'
    'top'
    'ITS NOT THERE!!!!!!'

    Where as I would have replied after the first question with 'its in the corner cupboard above the washer'

    This again. My missus often asks me to check her jacket pockets for this or that. Full of pieces of paper, sweet wrappers, more receipts, the odd fiver. No wonder she keeps losing stuff.

    My only comment is either my wife is the UK storage base Manager for Radley or Radley handbags have been discovered to provide better protection in the event of a nuclear attack than the current nuclear fallout shelter on sale to Government leaders.

    My Mrs spends an absolute fortune on bags, I found her stupidly expensive bag stuffed full of cash a few months ago yet I’m not allowed to buy myself a Ford Focus RS because it’s a stupid thing to buy. I even took a picture for every time I waste the odd £50 here and there and she starts to moan.

    Buy the car mate, life is too short. Just remember to run her here, there and everywhere whenever she needs a lift...in the hope of appeasing her.
