dancing round handbags

Reminiscent of the 1980s discos, a group, usually females, placing their handbags on the floor in a disco and dancing round them in a circle waiting for something to happen, with no plan other to dance until something happens, or more likely someone askes them to dance.

It was the two hours since the meeting started and no progress had been made and the chairmen said we needed to stop dancing round handbags and make a decision.
