    Thank you Buffy and Gwen!

    I do love shoes, tho I can't afford to buy them very often. My favourite pair are Olivia Morris from Faith, black suede and black patent platform heels. They get complemented every time I wear them, which is rarely since I am a fitness instructor. :rolleyes: When I win the lottery I will buy a pair of Christian Laboutins.

    Absolutely love that Oasis top, but ouch at the price! How are you going to decide which colour to keep? :confused: They are both gorgeous. Edited to add: just noticed the top is silk which makes it a bargain!

    I don't buy shoes all that often either FireFox. I try and get stuff in the sales or with a discount code. A pair of Christian Laboutins is on my lottery list too. Also, a Mulberry handbag.

    The top is a birthday money purchase made with a discount code. I'll try them both on and see which looks best and/or figure out which colour I have most of in my wardrobe. I think it'll be difficult though. I have an outfit in mind - that top, pencil skirt, lacy tights, heels, so I only need to get flowery tights to complete it.
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    The outfit sounds fabulous! When will you wear it? Are you having a boring Saturday night in too? I have half a bottle of wine in the fridge, but am not in the mood which is not like me. :o

    I'm planning on wearing it next Saturday to a party.

    I am having a boring night in - it's me, the laptop, SCD and some post to sort through. Boring, but necessary unfortunately.

    Hi - I'm home too - nursing a hangover :rolleyes:

    Welcome to the madness FireFox :D

    I am 42, single and hopelessly in debt :o Addicted to shoes, good at making plans - but not so good at sticking to them :rolleyes: So I still need to lose weight, get fit, pay off my debts - and find my Prince Charming :D
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Er, Fire Fox, dont want to be harsh but that ^ sort of attitude is just not what we like to hear :naughty:

    Welcome anyway to the most fabulous thread :D

    I have managed to score a ridiculously cheap bottle of wine. Co op sent me a £1.50 off Fairtrade wine voucher :T then when I went to the shop, the wine I chose was also reduced so tonight's bottle was a mere £ 2.25 :j.

    Should be nicely chilled now so will let you know just how palateable it is...

    Other news : We're adopting a cat :eek: so much more fun than a man :D
  • Hello all:D Welcome Fire Fox, sorry you are having a difficult time at the momenticon9.gif. Lula is quite right, a half empty bottle in the fridge is not the sort of thing we tolerate on this thread:naughty:. Get a glass immediately:D

    I saw a thread on Grabbit about reduced chocs in the co-op and also had a money off voucher, so got a tin of roses and a tin of celebrations for £7:D. I will [STRIKE]try to [/STRIKE]save them for Christmas. Also my Boden clothes arrived and are lovely and included a voucher for £10 off a £30 spend and my jumpers arrived in a bigger size and are lovely.:D

    What is everyone up to tonight? I am watching SCD and having a cup of tea. I do like my wild living weekends:D
