    Hullo Sun on Sunday?

    When it seemed like News International would send out an SoS I was hoping for a different meaning.

    I went shoe shopping on Tuesday (with OH) and today (on my own). It was very frustrating. All I wanted was a pair of not-ridiculously-high-heeled shoes, silver or dark pink. Couldn't find any. apart from a couple of pairs which were OK, but £150. I'm not paying £150 for a pair of just OK shoes.

    I've already got a dress - a rather nice mid-blue Ghost dress - and a silk shawl. Have to wear shoes I already have!

    And I had my hair cut - 5 inches or so off. And it feels soooo short! It's still bra-strap-length, so not actually that short, but still.

    And hairdressers are always trying to get you to do things - "highlights? lowlights? layers? perm?" NO. JUST SHORTER!

    Spot on, I think! Appear to do something, whilst actually doing nothing.

    How about a pair of Jimmy Choos for £100 down from £360?

    Scratch that just noticed they are used. I wouldn't pay £100 for a pair of used shoes!

    I have paid quite a bit for a pair of decent men's shoes, but I still have them after 10 years. £360 for a pair of strappy fashion items is not a good use of money, IMHO ofc.

    So, you wear a bra strap round your head?

    My hair looks about bra strap length but actually, if straight, goes down to my bottom. :) It could do with a trim I suppose. I'll get round to it sometime.

    I went, it finished earlier than I thought,l I could pick dh up at station and have just heated his supper for him. :)

    edit: must not look at shoe links, must not look at shoe links.
