    My daughter has a pair of black PVC look DM's because i got fed up of her wearing those pumps everywhere( couldn't get her in them at school.LOL) Got them from Oxfam Vintage and i just showed her the piccie of yours. Reckon they are next on the list.

    Morning All,

    I had a pair of black leather DM's and also a bright purple pair. 17 years on both are still going strong! Its only now they need new soles! Not bad value for money eh?

    Fay only read a little but why are you thinking about giving up your PhD?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
