    Hiya folks

    My feet hurt:(

    Bought some new trainer shoes from the Clarks shop, spend ALL of my birthday money on them and they fitted fine in the shop, smaller size felt too tight.

    I now have 2 whacking great blisters on my heels as they seem to be too big and my heels are slipping:confused: it wasnt the brightest idea to go for a 6 mile walk in them I guess:rolleyes:

    Does anyone know if there is anything to help with this or have I just wasted my money:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Becky/Ztd ~ You will know :p If you were to buy a new desktop would you wait for windows 7? Also how long after release would you buy, assuming there will may be problems with the new software :confused:

    *Pap wants a new desktop pc and one custom made to my specs is £390 just now, to get that premade in a highstreet store would cost £800+ :eek:*

    Louise - what make trainers are they?? Sometimes they make the back heel cushion from a silly too hard fabric and it rubs (think Nike had this problem a while back) - can you take them back and change for a new make??

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
