    Bleurgh, nothing worse than smelly shoes.

    I think I might pop to the retail park tomorrow and have a grand trying on session. Can't afford to buy anything at the moment but I'm struggling when it comes to summer clothes as my wardrobe is about 70% cardigans and jumpers. I need some nice skirts or trousers but given the problem stomach, finding trousers that look ok might be tricky.

    Are they leather, Pirate? I'm sure they'll stretch in no time.

    I think they'd look fab with a short frock and some lacy ankle socks, show off those gorgeous pins!

    There are lots of TSFE's out there (Too Stupid For Ebay). You wouldn't believe the questions I get asked. There was a woman the other day who asked the length of a pair of boots, although the measurement was already given in the listing I replied 17inches, to which she responded, "Oh, I thought that was the length of the foot". Blimey, does she think I sell clown's shoes?

    Pirate love those brogues! I would wear them with black opaque tights and a dress! Boo to people who can't seem to read Ebay descriptions properly!

    Moonbabe - treat yourself, they really are fab. I'm an idiot where following instructions go but they are really easy to use.
