I know - the ballet pump in all its various forms is a godsend! i've just seen some fab Puma ballet pumps, which are calling me, but I'm going to resist!!

I have a pair of beautiful black suede high heeled shoes with thick black ribbons which go up the leg - I adore them and have had them since the mid 90's, they were from NEXT. I should just get rid of them really - I haven't worn them for 7 years but I can't bring myself to do it. I guess they are rather Burlesque if I think about it!

Well, I've just discovered the Next website :eek:

My job now is just filler - I work for the council, and they technically made me redundant whilst on maternity leave. It is their policy to find you something suitable, so I took the only job that matched my childcare arrangements. I used to organise teacher training and support special educational needs officers. Now I am reporting on the progress of various projects across the education dept, and monitoring absences (:eek: - moral problems with this one) and some other stuff that's a bit dull. I'm like a go-between, the busybody who won't stop calling you when you have other stuff to do! It is turning out to be 'okay' but it isn't exactly fulfilling.

I am good with numbers, I work well on my own, I love deadlines and pressure, and I am a bit of a perfectionist. On the other hand I like lots of contact with people (though maybe not too much) and working on something long-term. I am a bit of a gemini in that respect..



Those are niiiiice! The problem is that OH is around my height, an inch maybe two taller, so flats for me :rolleyes: Or mini wedges like these for work.

I get PAID tomorrow, did I mention that? I can't wait! Shoes, ,boots, trousers, here I come!

Hmmm - some kind of project management role maybe?

Liking the wedges:)

I used to wear flat shoes and trainers all the time but had a shoe epiphany about 7 years ago. I have a couple pairs that I have to practice walking in if I want to wear them out and I was about to delve into the world of platforms when Bean appeared but will save my pennies for something requiring less bakance for now:p

I get paid on Friday... bump wedges, maternity clothes and baby gros here I come:rotfl:

Awwwwww that's fab, bless him... :smileyhea

I got my shoes (the black ones, they didn't have the brown ones in my size) - nice shop assistant even let me in with one minute to closing time

Ooh they are wonderful, special occasion, or just to add to the collection?

I LOVE the brown too though.

Project management - maybe.... I will get more of an insight in this job I suppose - might be room to manouvere too. Got to keep my options open - I think that's the most important thing.

Have I spelt manouvere right?

DS is making up for being miserable last night and is screaming his head off (happy screams I might add)

Best go play

now, shoes and boots and men (or women!) going *drool* over them I can understand.

But, (and I'm pretty open minded to say the least!!!) I've never got this kind of thing........

I mean - there's the idea that they have been worn (and may appeal to men with a certain 'penchant') but these are just, well, muddy and grimy!

I've got a cupboard full like that - it comes with walking a dog in the winter!!

Nah, nothing special, although I expect they'll make an appearance when I'm going out on Friday. Might pop back in tomorrow and see if they have any of the brown in
