    Yes, I did, are they hideous :confused: ?

    I would never normally get anything like them but thought that they would be perfect for hol & they are just so comfy & have 'new opportunities' written all over them ... I have kept the receipt though just in case everyone sneers at them :(

    No, they are F Fabulous!!!! I have tried on very same shoes .... and drooled :o Was with a v.sensible friend who said 'do you need them?' :rolleyes: Wish I'd been with you :D
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Gosh, can you imagine any of us in a shoe shop together :eek: It would look like a crop field after a plague of locusts had been through :rotfl:

    Your words about shoes not making anyone look fat ring loud & clear in my ears each time I debate a purchase :T

    I'm just jealous :rolleyes:, have no cheesecake or alchocohol on the premises. Since that evening when the absinth led to a meet with Mr. Artistic Lasagne Man ... I am abstaining on health & safety grounds .

    New shoes & bags are much more fun than fishing :D

    Where are you racing by the way ? ( apologies for ignorance about the sporting calendar :o)
