Update and a Poll

[lavendersparkle]

I handed my first year report in last Wednesday and since then have been manically getting wedding stuff sorted. Most of the invites are now in the post. I have bought the bridesmaid's dress and finished booking the honeymoon. Alec and I started the wedding registry but, having spent 6 hours going around John Lewis sorting it, will need to go again next Friday to finish it off.

On that topic I need advice. I'm tempted to ask for some expensive luggage. I've always bought cheap luggage in the past on the grounds that that way I haven't lost much if it falls apart after a couple of trips. However, if more expensive luggage will last longer it may be better value in the long run. I sort of need a new suitcase for the honeymoon and John Lewis do a thing where you can mark some things on the list as stuff you need early. What do you all think?

[Poll #1214815]

If it makes a difference, I'm thinking of getting one of these cases in pink.

Matthew has expensive luggage, it is very nice and doesn't fall over. I have Tesco value luggage, it is perfectly fine but if you unzip the extra bit and make half of the contents books it does fall over. I'm not sure the price differential is worth it.

Expensive luggage makes it more likely that baggage handlers will think the contents are worth stealing.

True, but I tend to travel by train rather than fly so I have to worry about fellow passengers rather than baggage handlers.
