    I think you have 3 choices.

    1.) Keep the shoes and let them decrease in value - harsh but true.
    2.) Sell your shoes to me for this one time offer of 50p I'll even pay P&P
    3.) Sell them on ebay but put either a reserve or buy now on the item, (it cost a few extra pence but I think would be worth it,) this way they will not go for less than you want, and rather than being disapointed if they sell for little you'll be happy you got what you wanted.

    Pm Me to tell me the postage ( you know it makes sense) and I'll send my shiny 50p tomo :D .

    sorry toots, i'm so nosey!

    can i just say though, you two looked so happy and in love... i got tears in my eyes! big wally that i am! it looked like a fabulous day and the venue was gorgeous, i adored those fairy lights at the end of the room...

    sorry, but i don't think you should sell the shoes, i know you say you'll never wear them again, but the sentiment behind them...i doubt your son will be too interested, but imagine one day showing his little sister the shoes and dress and photos...oh god now i want to get married and have kids! :eek: :rotfl:

    I too would sell them, as the majority have said; every little helps and that reduces your debt just that little bit more.

    Good luck.
