Camera Bag?? for DSLR

My worst habit is forgetting my camera...BUT of course Santa Paws is bringing me a DSLR for Xmas I can't forget it!!!
SO my plan is to have it all in a bag..just for lifting..one that I can stick a purse and phone in too..but one thats not "Handbaggy"...and one that doesn't scream "theres an expensive camera in here"..

So I have looked and decided I like the Lowepro Slingshot 100..
BUt my Mother dear is insisting she buys it for Xmas for me..

Now my Mum has been signed off work for the last 2 years with breast cancer..(she has been diagnosed twice!! so was off for around 10 months..then went back for a couple of months and was diagnosed again and has been off work since)..SOOO I am trying to find it as cheap as possible for her..(tried the "I will go halves but its not happening either!!!)
SO can anyone find it cheaper than £40 for me LOL

Not sure how it comapares to the one you looked at Louise but the one I have is like one of these (prob exact one actually):

Lowepro Rezo 160 Shoulder Bag For Digital SLR & 1-2 Lenses - Black
by Lowepro

Might be what you consider a handbag type though...but I think it is brill and look at how cheap you can get them for!!

Personally Id go for the shoulder type, but the backpack you showed is fine. I used to use a Lowepro, still have it, but with bigger lenses I needed a bigger bag, I have a blue National geographic one now.
