Message 1051741 - Posted: 29 Nov 2010, 0:11:17 UTC - in response to Message 1051724.  

Magenta has asked me to set a competition as I got second prize.

My question is: How many handbags have I bought in the last 12 months?


Thanks Es...i just couldn't think of anything...


It's very hard isn't it? My first thought was "How many burning raccoons could fuel a powerplant for a month" but I thought Angela would get upset. Then I was going to ask how many donuts my family consumed in the last week..but then I thought no one really knows about our donut problem.

Ahh..those were to days...when I used to buy a new handbag every time I needed cheering up.

However, times have changed and I've only bought 2 since moving to Canada.

One cheap Old Navy canvas one that was big enough for me to carry my coffee cup and school books in, and then I treated myself later to a very fine leather bag with embossed flowers on it from Fossil which I have been using for a while now.

It's a good size because it's large enough to carry a reading book and coffee mug and anything the children hand to me to carry when we are out and about. I do have my eye on a cut silver one from Fossil for Christmas though.

So although Chris and Bill were close...the winner is Uli! Well done.

Thanks Esme. Again no inside information. I picked four, but then Vic took that number, so I settled for two.

Ok...
We all want to see the gates to new WUs open here. So, the closest one to the time the gates open, will win a special anni-shirt.
I want to see the date and time down to the second.

Have fun

I'd thought of two also, But 4 sounded plausible, But then what do I know? Not much evidently.
