[Closed] Putting a courier bag on a pannier

Looked a bit on tinterweb and not found anything, so:
I've got a Timbuk2 Courier style bag that I use day to day.
I cycle to work occasionally, the bike I use has a pannier but I have no decent bag, tried a cheap basil bag that fell apart quite fast but gave me enough of an idea that I want to use a pannier bag for the commute.
As I already have a decent enough bag and don't feel like plumping up £90 for another bag, is there a net type mount or something that I can use to put the courier bag onto the pannier and maybe put shopping and stuff in at other times?

Yes tried that, it's OK but got this idea in my head that a cargo net and some sort of backing that mounts to one side of the rack would be good, or a big pannier type bin (waterproof not essential) so I can pop the courier bag in there when riding to work and on days that I stop for shopping I can fill it with the shopping and wear courier bag. Was just looking to see if such a thing existed.

plan ... buy a bucket - drill some holes and zip tie it to the rack - cargo net over the top ......remember to put drain holes in the bottom 😀

A pannier without a rigid back would be pretty annoying I reckon- you could put something inside though I suppose.

The sort of thing i'm thinking of is bascially a rigid board with a cargo net or something on to strap a normal bag to. Seems like such a thing doesn't exist.
