    suposed to be listing on ebay but.... I end up window shopping for party shoes instead..

    I think I have fallen in love
    I have a black satin 50's style dress with a big sash bow type thing (need to loos a bit to get in it though!) and these would look FAB with it.... (wedding to go to in a few weeks, um, might need a change of clothes invited to the wedding and then the evening, not the middle bit....erm excuse to shop!)

    Chapter 7

    Jumping and Moving Whats going on in Smirkingtree

    After a busy time in sunny May a lot had been happening in Smirkentree ,buisness was booming with many making progress using baby steps, mini moves ,or giant jumps as they are now known to get things moving along .
    Sales had improved and spirits were high . This was where the idea sprung from, one resident Nixi decided to promote the town as a whole ,she put her pr hat on and decided to hold a local world cup tournament with a difference.
    Why couldn't the village use it as an income maker asda and tescos were along with every other big retailer .Time for the small retailer to use it each shop chose a country to support and designed a display window around it. The winner would get free rates for a year.
    All the England Wags were seen hanging around Mabels Merkins and discreetly heading through the door to puchase the limited edition diamond St George Merkin,Collette tried to get it into the George fashion range to do a low budget diamonte however it was deemed too riske. Down at Nikki's new salon Ogres to Princesses wax,tan and nails beauty that never fails there was a queue for the half price brazilians .
    In Skints bakery a was sign up saying support Australia with a line of pineapple upside down cakes 3 for 2 offer, but they had competition from Toots Sweets who decided to support Cameroon with there sign Go Cameroon buy a macaroon. Down at the other end of town in the massage parlour the German sausage display in the window seemed to increase buisiness or at least the traffic in and out seemed to be up lol.
    Even mummy and paiges book shop took part supporting Peru and doing discounts on their Paddington bear books.
    All was going well until the IT people all got together in Jo's internet Cafe and decided they had to support ITaly which was fine until the night of the final England v Italy ,we all know that England lost but what we want to know was which villager was responsible for the huge phallic symbol that was painted on the window or now fondly known as the IT erection.
    The only lead the local police have so far is that the artist took the time to colour it with red and white stripes . I wonderrrrrrrrrr emmmmmmmmmmm

    Wow great shoes Mambury, really striking! Maybe sell a pair of your other ones and then you'll feel happier parting with your cash? You might not be able to part with your shoes easily either though? - just treat yourself, you deserve it :)

    I'm coating myself in layers of moisturiser - not been able to move since friday and been soooo dehydrated and yucky. Feels really nice to feel half human again. I'm sooooo off the alcohol now though. Forever...
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.
