  • Hi Lula, I have beautiful beautiful beautiful shoes - I sometimes think they should be in a display cabinet not a wardrobe. I cannot believe how much I used to spend and now, although I love shoes, I really do know I don't need any :rotfl:

    Now I'm thinking of trainers which exercise my bum and legs - what a difference :)

    And no blaming auto correct :rotfl:

    Now are we talking apple catchers or my pickle drawer in the fridge :rotfl:

    Do any of said shoes have red soles?
  • Hi Lula, no red soles - I used to travel each week out of LHR so temptation was on my doorstep every Sunday evening or Monday morning.

  • £10 CP voucher ordered for B&@ - really quick to earn £
    Next week I'll have another £10 Am@zon voucher from S&S.

    These along with PC have definitely been the most lucrative

    LHR is a nightmare, they have you trapped for a few hours. I've got a lounge pass now and it's invaluable..... Saves me from the shops!

    Can't believe how well you have done on your Grocery spend - wish I could do the same!

    I used to do both :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Looking back it's hard to think I'm the same person.

    Great memories but hard to be away from my kids every week. Good for the air miles though

    Hi SD, once my freezer has run down though, it will be back to normal. I am really pleased though and it's been a good exercise for our minds as well.
