    I have 1 pair which has never even been out of its box *blushes*

    Mrs Sparkle your not the only one, when I last moved house I found 3 pairs of shoes that I had never worn :embarasse . I've got over 50 pairs of shoes but do wear at least half of them on a regular basis and have only bought two pairs so far this year.

    Nope just one pair of feet. I usually wear 3 pairs a day but up to 4 pairs if I'm busy. Pumps to walk to work in, heels at work, trainers to run in, and different heels to go out in. I know I have too many shoes but it does mean that I can coordinate shoes with any outfit.

    As others have said too many to mention but here is where some the substantial money madness was spent (I cant belive now that I did this by the way!!);
    6 days at a health farm (approx £1000)
    Regular massage, facials
    trip to carribean & new york
    new car (well 6 months old)
    scuba diving lessons (needed for hol in carribean)
    I dread to think how much on expensive body lotion etc but do remember spending over 200 on chanel...(did get it back after a fight as allergic to it!!) 35 on a weeny bottle of decleor facial oil (unused & stil there)& 200 for the rest of the range..well some of it!
    my laptop but its my lifesaver so dont regret that one!
    What a bl@@dy waste of money it all was...fool I was...
    shoes go quite well on ebay girls!!
