    ooo, maybe there's a uniform here - that's what I'm wearing too but have gone with the fluffy pink socks option over the glam heels:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I always test new shoes indoors before I venture outside so jamas and heels is quite a common outfit here :D

    'Jamas & heels, wine from mini tumblers, chipmunk, aaaaaaahh it's good to be home :D,

    you're right about those mini tumblers though Skinty, might have to try Moos trick next ... although the last time I tried that one I fell off the top of a slide in the beer garden :o

    What do you think? :confused:

    I think the shoes deserve to be quoted so they can be posted on the next page for all to admire! :D No wine here, trying not to head down the slippery slope of daily alcohol. The only problem with drinking straight out of the bottle is that if you happen to knock it over .... what a waste! :eek:

    Noah has been here nearly six hours, four of which were spent behind the sofa or in a large cardboard box. He has eaten smelly fish, located the litter tray, toured the living area, had a thorough wash and been enthralled by the streetscene. Please note the complete lack of contact with yours truly! :rolleyes:

    I have taken your comments on possible wine spillage very seriously :eek: . I cant afford that sort of waste, am now on a mission to debt clear ASAP so am going to only drink at the weekend. ( NB my weekend starts on a thursday night as I dont work fridays ;))

    It's good that Noah finds his way around your place & I'm sure when he's a bit more settled he'll start to require a bit of affection.

    Our Catopus tried some of the rabbit flavour food tonight & loved it, am just hoping he doesnt relate that to the real thing, our neighbours have 2 bunnies that roam free around their garden all day ... _pale_

    I love those shoes too Shoegal. Where can they be bought? Must have.

    What are you doing tempting us like this?

    P.S. Have you seen any nice boots.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    They are from Bertie, but I got them in the sale at House of Fraser for £32.50 :j:j

    Am loving Dune and Next for boots - but haven't bought any yet! :D

    I am on a mission to move asap so trying hard to resist the boots - a new bathroom would be much more useful longterm:D! That's the trouble with my brain though...longterm is so much more boring than instant shoe gratification:o!

    Don't worry Lula, Cats would only try & kill unprotected baby rabbits. Grown rabbits are actually pretty good at defending themselves & cats seem to instinctively know that & steer clear.

    Afternoon to all,

    my chest now painted, my knickers back in my drawers & there's a whole heap of double entendres for you all ;)

    Glad to hear bunnies are safe, think they are bigger than the cat actually, & he's a bit of a wuss, will only go outside when we do, can see me moving litter tray to the garden in an effort to show him that there's no harm in using a bush :D

    DD is sorting her room out & I have managed to put all my shoes away rather than have them stored under the table :rolleyes:./

    Hmmmm let's talk about boots ( sorry SBC :o) there are 3 pairs I am liking at the moment & they are all over £85 each ... am also watching a pair on ebay that are currently £25. Thanks goodness footwear doesnt count in the Crazy Challenge - sarah I am eternally grateful to you for that :A

    Still havent done last night's washing up but have hung washing out, hoovered everywhere & tidied to within an inch of my life & for some bizarre reason I am craving a smoke :confused:

    Onwards for now & will return later clutching my last ration of wine until thursday :cry:
