    Shoe Gal,

    Do you remember the bit in Sex and the City when Carrie realises she has spent 40 grand on shoes?

    Also on a similar theme

    what does everyone think of these? Tried them on at the weekend and fell in love, but need some help justifying them

    That is a very bizarre tradition. Thank goodness we never had that in our family, considering I turned 18 nearly 16 years ago I dread to think what kind of meringue would be hanging in my wardrobe.......

    Carole - not sure if I should be talking you in or out of the boots. I do like them, I love purple (had some purple boots last year) and the buckle detail is very glamorous. However I, personally, would find the heel too high for everyday use and I think the amount boots cost, you should be able to wear them a lot! Also the two reviews both say the boots are hard to get on which would annoy me as I'm late for everything and shoes which take ages to put on (yes, gladiator sandals, I'm talking to you) drive me crazy!!

    I am starting to be a little scared of the new, sensible makeup :rolleyes:

    Bwahahahahahaha!
    This is the kind of stuff i used to do when i was 14 and nutso! I didn;t realise you were allowed to be so vengeful as a grown up!!!

    Ps. Missmup- i totally feel you on not wanting marriage and the parents example!!! And it's not just them- it's all over the place...and people treat each other so horribly- WHY when you're supposed to love each other!
