    :rotfl:

    I once bought shoes that had pictures on the soles, they were so pretty, I spent the majority of the evening with my feet on a chair so my friends could see the soles.

    I was gutted when they scratched.

    I also bought a pair of fold-able shoes for my graduation the year before last and not checking them beforehand was gutted to realise they had pretty pink bows sewn across the tops of them. My bosses and colleagues/fellow graduates, thought they were hysterical but needs must. I later managed to take the bows off and loved those shoes, especially as they came with a pretty bag that when turned inside out grew and held my heels.

    Another diary I have decided to delurk on :D

    :wave: I read the whole of your diary a few weeks back, yes the WHOLE diary :rotfl:it took me most weekend and some evenings and then I never got the chance to post so have forgot lots of what i wanted to comment on :o One thing that did make me chuckle was locking yourself out and climbing over the locked gates to get back in. oh and Mr Pinots mankini and the pic had me laughing lots!!

    You are like superwoman, how you manage it all I dont know and remain so upbeat throughout it all.

    Wishing you lots and lots of luck on your debt free journey. Will be sticking around, as I said on grannys diary more of a reader than a poster.

    The new shoes are soooo well deserved :D They sound like sitting down shoes, I have lots of those. OH despairs especially when I buy them and know they are sitting down shoes but it cheers me up to even take them out of the wardrobe to look at them. I have even been known to prance around the house in them when I have nowhere nice enough to wear them.....sad i know :o:p

    Thankyou everyone, Im sorry I've not been around, I am like a crazy crazy lady this week, struggling with my back, hospital again today. Yes I know I shouldnt have bought heels but I really dont think they can make it any worse.

    Loads going on this week, been out since 8am, just got home but need to leave in half an hour for a meeting when all I really want to do is crawl into my bed.

    I am tired, grumpy and struggling just a tad this week. I will post a full update of the weeks activities as soon as I get a second,

    Thankyou all for keeping my diary busy for me, so lovely to hear form you all and your shoe stories ( I just love shoes !!) and wonderful to see you as well Princess, but you know the rules, once out of lurkdom you are not allowed to return.

    I will try and catch up tonight when I eventually get hoem if I dotn fall asleep first. Apologies for not keeping up with all of your diaries this week either .

    Take care everyone, hope you are all havign a good week so far xxx:D

    I know it wont go anywhere but I actually miss it and everyone on it !!! Is that verging on weird ?!!!:o

    I snuck that little update in Monday I think ! :D

    I am soooooo tired but I cant sleep more than 2 hours a night, I think I need to go back to docs as the back / leg thing is getting worse and worse and I need to wear my posh heels for Saturday if it kills me ! Am worried poor Mr Pinot will get the next plane heading back from whence he came when he lands on Friday once he sees the state of me !

    Miracle face lift to erase the lines, saggy eye bags and an un - essex like fake tan needed to make me look alive, but not orange. This is all required by Saturday if I could only muster up the energy !

    Oh and missed the damn meeting tonight at DD2s school, got the time wrong and rocked up as the last slide from the powerpoint was shown to the parents ! Oops !!! :o

  • IM sure they can print it off the slides for you. Mr pinot will be fine with how you look, probably more concerned with how tired you are.

    Take care and try and take it easy. Or Easier....

    Officially in meltdown today, have managed to get app with Doc tomorrow. Poor receptionist had to suffer my tears today , how embarrassing .:o

    On the plus side, someone has paid us !!So I have managed to pay somemore towards the Inland Revenue and the Accountant that has been overdue since September last year, they have been very patient. Accountant bill wasnt included in my sig, but just off to update once more.:D

    I will do that update of the mad week , I promise.

    Thanks Skint for posting, Im sure you are right, spoke to Mr Pinot just after calling the docs and had a snivel down the phone to him as well ! He said the same ,he doesnt care what I look like but jsut wants to get back home now to help out xx
