I’ve finally done my “unboxing” video after keeping my new Chanel bag hidden at the back of the wardrobe since early May. I’ll admit that I’ve been too scared to open the box. Firstly because the bag was so bloody expensive and I find that if I buy something frivolous (doesn’t happen often, actually, and it’s usually something for the house when it does) then I need to ignore it for a while and pretend that it didn’t happen. Secondly, because I managed to choose a bag in the most stain-attracting colour after – er – white and I was scared of ruining it. My fears were almost realised five minutes after the unboxing when the baby was sick (she’s never sick) about six inches from the bag. Thank God it wasn’t projectile!

Anyway, you’ll have to watch the video to find out what I bought. I’m still having palpitations. Fortunately I can’t find the receipt, or my AMEX statement (mainly because I like to hide my AMEX statements without looking at them) and so the purchase doesn’t really exist. That’s the rule, isn’t it? Especially if it was a transaction made in foreign currency. Euros? What payment in euros?
