And because it&#39;s my fantasy shopping spree I&#39;m afraid I&#39;m not going to be remotely worthy &#8211; it&#39;s all going to be for me, me me.   <\/p>\r\n<p> \r\n<p>     First of I&#39;d like a new handbag. A gorgeous, desirable,&nbsp;buttery-smooth leather handbag. This would not be a handbag for screwed up receipts, old lozenges and lidless lipsticks. This would be a brand new bag, full of promise, to hold my life together. A bag like this DKNY Distressed Leather tote&nbsp;from <a href =\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/HouseofFraser.aspx?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\">House of Fraser<\/a>, for &pound;240.      <\/p>\r\n<td width=\"5%\">     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/2\/DistressedLeatherTote_260209.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"156\" \/>           <br \/>              <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/2\/Coastdress_260210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"99\" height=\"139\" \/>\r\n<td width=\"5%\">\r\n<p>     Then I need a dress.

Not a coat of many colours, rather a mac that will see me through this awful endless rain and into spring. A mac like this&nbsp;stone cotton trench&nbsp; from&nbsp;<a href =\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/Jigsaw.aspx?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\">Jigsaw<\/a>&nbsp;(&pound;185).      <\/p>\r\n<td width=\"5%\">     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/2\/JigsawTrench_260210_155.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"155\" \/>           <br \/>              <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/2\/Accessories_260210_175.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"114\" \/>\r\n<td width=\"5%\">\r\n<p>     I would need shoes, too.
