  • I have the opposite problem with long boots, I am 2 - 2 1/2 shoe size and have stupidly thin calf muscles so boots look like wellies and they are too big on my feet. But at the weekend I found a lovely pair that fitted (with a thick pair of socks!) and I had just sold some broken jewellery, so they were free :money:. (Well actually they were £99 :eek: but free sounds better :D)

    Oh god yes I had forgotten about the other end of the scale.

    For me there is nothing worse than people wearing boots that don't fit and that flap as they walk. Grrrr :eek:

    Glad you have got some free boots, why do boots which fit us all cost loads of money?

    Years ago when black slouch boots were in, I went to a shoe shop and could not do them up so had to go to the expensive shop so while my friends paid £10 for their boots I had to pay £40 :eek:

    Morning, sorry to hear you are feeling under the weather :(
    After lots of half eaten salad bags got binned or added to soups - before blending - stir fries or chili (shred it fine & chuck it in! Bit of brown okay as will sort of dissolve into hot food), I found the baby leaf salad from @sda seems to keep longer than all the others. It's £1 a bag but rarely has to be disposed of before I finish it.
    Enjoy your 4 day week, hope you feel better soon :)
    Mortgage free as of 11/11/15 !
    :Anow... to start some serious saving :A

    Ipsos - 725 points (1380 needed to redeem, still waiting for Amazon voucher)
    Mysurvey - 120 points (550 needed for £5 Amazon) Waiting for final survey in series of three which will net me 1500 points to reward me for not smashing the laptop in boredom ;)
    Chase email sent to Ipsos, hopefully they will get back to me soon...

    Finally finished the Surveys From Hell and got my 1500 points. I've requested a £10 Amazon voucher and only need 30 points for my next £5 voucher.

    Knackered today - I woke up at half five and have done 2.5 hours of overtime today :eek: Tomorrow I'm up at half five again then off to Leeds for work (7am train...gah!) until Thursday. I'm going to be racking up the overtime but too tired to spend it :rotfl:

    Must dash - going to watch the end of the Great British Bake-Off then have to pack my bags for my trip to Englandshire :D

    Spending diary

    Knew I forgot about something...!

    Post Office - £3.41 posting Ebay/FB sales
    Cups of tea - £2.75 (three in total)

    Tea spending cannot be allowed to continue like this, but I hadn't had enough sleep today and needed to stay awake. There's only so much free swill from the vending machines I can cope with. Tomorrow I will do better. Honest ;)

    Sometimes needs must! Are you someone that can catch a few zzzzzz whilst on the train?

    My guilty pleasure was buying craft things today. I did spend some quality time making cards with my eldest though, so i refuse to feel guilty :o:D

    I'd be happy to do that if the terminating station was my destination (Leeds) but the sodding train finishes it's journey in Plymouth I think - don't think the boss would be amused if I had to call him from there :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello love, have ANOTHER interview a week on Friday. I expect a job as the Queen of England after all this footering about! Got a flat in Leith sorted through a mate and getting the coats cleaned tomorrow, ready for a trip to the frozen East! X

    How unreasonable ha ha!!! I always worry i'd wake up to find a wierdo staring at me or that someone will have pilfered my belongings. I'm not dramatic or paranoid at all :p
