    I've always just been a bit obsessed with them because they're so pretty. I got my first one when I was 17 and I think I'm in double figures now. For some reason I woke up in agony a few years ago and my back was awful for a year or so. My spine curves slightly which I think is the main cause of the problem, but unfortunately as I was a student at the time I could only afford to see the chairopractor once. It was £27 a go and apparently that was discounted, it was a shame because it did actually help.

    They are so pretty - a phrase I understand so well! Except I apply it to shoes :o
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    I feel the same about shoes sometimes, I found a gorgeous pair on ebay but I know I'd never be able to walk in them so I've been sensible and said no to them :(

    Am sure I would've caved in - and I can walk in anything :rolleyes: so that wouldn't have stopped me :D

    Thanks lol, I can't walk in even small stilettos, though I guess money-wise that's a good thing. I'm really bored tonight, I might go to bed soon. My boyfriend has developed a bad cold yesterday/today so I'm hoping I don't wake up with it tomorrow. He says all of his muscles ache and he hasn't had a cold this bad before so I'm getting a bit concerned that he might have flu which I really don't want, and I'm only agency staff so if I get ill I don't get sick pay which would be really bad.

    Morning all,

    My mouth is still very sore! My neck is better though!

    I have 11 days off work now so going to clean the house then go away for a few days sometime! Camping hopefully!

    What do you all have planned for today?

    The foundation degree i am going to do is classed as full time so i am really worried now about the amount to time i will have to spend studying i think it might be a heavy 2 years!!
