    Really quick post as I'm working (or so I keep telling myself, ha!)

    Tara - I have those exact Birki's - were they from TK Maxx? I love mine but they're really not comfortable for long walks til they've been well worn in! They hurt the bridge of my foot!

    gymfiend, yes, well they're brown but the same! I was thinking they mightn't be comfy enough for long walks. I actually bought a size bigger for comfort and they seem ok. My size was a bit tight across the top of my foot! I'll wear them at home some more and then decide.

    p.s. what do you mean by a long walk? Would an hour be ok?

    Tara I find any more than half an hour and they start to hurt, I think it's because you sort of have to clench your toes to keep them on iykwim? Though the more I've worn them the better they've gotten - I'd wear them in at home as much as you can before venturing out on a long walk with them!

    Thanks for all the advice on the jeans :) It's funny how 5 seems loads in comparison to some people and none in comparison to others! I did have about 30 pairs - but have put most on eBay/in the bin! I don't need 6 pairs of black skinny jeans, or 3 grey, or 2 blue...or 3 pairs of straight legs in varying colours...!!!

    Spotted a lovely long line cardi in Tesco today for £12, material felt lovely too but none in my size :( Going to try the big Mr T's when I can drag someone there with me!

    Going out for the evening now so switching into a baggy white t-shirt to go with my dark denim shorts, leopard print pumps, thick brown belt and tonnes of gold jewellery :) Have been using the summer moisturiser so looking rather tanned, might aswell show it off!!xx

  • Tara, yes thats them. I think they are really comfy but they will need wearing in. I had new ones this year and took about 10 wears to wear them in. I think it will be trial and error as to weather they will be comfy enough for your walk.

    Love Sharron
