    Where in Spain, Shoe Gal? And only five weeks away...I'm going ribbeting green again.

    I'll be in Vigo and Bilbao in July.

    Shoe Gal - I hate to point this out, but are you sure you are fully qualified to be "testing" shoes? Is this not rather like a bee testing pollen? ;)

    I am fully qualified, after many years of intense training :D All new shoes must be worn, indoors and sitting down, for one evening to ensure they are 'fit for purpose' - making me look fabulous!!! (I don't ever test whether I can actually walk in them or if they hurt my feet - style over comfort all the way for me! :o )
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Sarah, five pairs of shoes in the trolley? I know you only intend to buy two, but what if the others get lonely and form a lemming-like procession to join them? :cool:

    I can easily rectify that by buying all 5:D It is very difficult as I can fit each pair to a specific situation they will suit very nicely indeed and as such they are all necessary, plus I will be able to cover the price of all 5 using the pay for my upcoming bank holiday hours and the 20% off code from the discount board. Aarrgghh! What a dilemma:o I know I can only really justify 2 though.icon9.gif *sulks*

    Questioning 'justify' :confused: Are they fabulous? Are you fabulous? Put the two together - justified :j

    (I am hopeless as a DFW, I'm going to get banned from my own thread at this rate :o ) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I assume he is one of your secret crushes:D I have lots of them:D He's not really my type but if he does it for you then it's not wrong at all, so carry on ;)

    After my Jeremy Kyle confession earlier in the week I assume you are unshockable now :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I think I missed that one. Hope you were confessing to a crush, not an appearance on the show:rotfl: On second thoughts I don't know which would be worse:rotfl:
