    We got a shoe rack and screwed it to the inside of the door for the cupboard under the stairs, works very well.

    You haven't seen the number of shoes I own :o

    Well the cupboard door rack gives us 6 rows of about 80cm and you can put pairs of flat shoes like sandals together then we have an extending 3 tier rack next to the garage door then the bottom of every wardrobe is covered several pairs deep. It is all my fault, I have a pair of work shoes, a pair of trainers, a pair of lace up boos and a pair of crocs for in the house.

    Oh, i had a wigwam, i remember that. Later, in uk i got a wendy house. Sold it before going to uni for some petrol and booze money.

    i had a wigwam as well - at least that's what my dad said, but it looked suspiciously like some bamboo poles, a dust sheet and some string.

    Shoes are a problem here to, but i hate the put them in a box or basketsolution. My mother fors that to, and shoes do get damaged, especially the prettiest least worn ones which get squashed at the bottom.

    on come dine with me repeat this afternoon there was a bird who had an entire shed full of shoes. not sure if it's a good idea to keep shoes in a shed, they might go a bit mouldy.

    i own about 5 pairs of shoes, which are under the bed. oh's shoes are chucked in the bottom of various cupboards in ever expanding piles.

    Mine had bamboo poles, and looked rustic, but i think thats cuter than shiny plasticy ones. Mine was bright blue and red dust sheet sort of think. And ties on the door.

    last night my friend and i invented a new dish, which i believe will become a world wide sensation. it is a calzone pizza stuffed with pasta and sauce. it has amazing qualities because although we drank about 10 pints of lager each before eating it, but neither of us had a hangover today (you have to eat one each to achieve this effect, we are not sure what would happen if you just shared one).

    does anyone want to invest? bannatyne has already expressed interest.

    Wow, carb upon carb.. It would make a good sedative too. Can you move today? Sounds like it has pms/ totm potential too. I get terrible hormonal carb craving....

    These are only for the usually worn shoes, the upstairs cupboard has more shoe solutions.

    Just bought baskets from somerset levels, :o the amount of money spent :o

    i'm fine, although i'm not i would have been without the 40 minute walk home afterwards and the 2 hours session on the bike in the gym beforehand. mate passed out immediately on finishing and i left him snoring on his sofa where he apparently remained all night!

    to be honest i prefer fried mashed potato on toast or chip butties.
