those boots look like good value...I'm a great believer in that you get what you pay for in footwear

Totally agree - I think what's bothering me is that I can't try them on first (and T&Cs on returning them aren't totally clear as it says they have to be sold by A*mazon & these ones aren't ) - have huge problems finding comfy footwear due to failed surgery on one of my feet so I'd really like to try them first.

Still pondering!:o Will try the garden centre!:)

mmmm might try some fleece linings for my wellies!:) Struggling with the boots still - they need to be totally (ie wellie) waterproof to at least ankle depth).

IF I can find some the right size I have little 1/2 wellies IYKWIM

(mine are black!)

Most of them seem to be for "normal" length wellies *sigh* .... nothing straightforward as ever!:rotfl:

Hi Rosa Just caught up on your diary a bit earlier (but dinner was ready before I got around to posting & then forgot - still got a memory like a sieve - can't wait to finish these beeping tablets!)

Glad you enjoyed your Christmas

Well ... still not given in to the temptation of new boots :T - the new me ... think before buying - just hope I don't go too far overboard:o

Had a disaster with my crumpets this morning - opened the pack and thought "they don't seem right" as it was rock hard and discovered there was a hole in the pack:eek: - not worth the fuel to take them back but a bit annoyed .... and now crumpetless:eek:

Managed to use up my rewards points on the online pet store before they expired (31st) so that's good but I then had to get a few bits to top it up to free delivery *sigh* - still now have more than enough stuff to last them until March time :T. Also got a couple of wee bags of dry for the cats to try - have a feeling they've had these before (and liked them ) but they only come in small bags which is why I stopped getting them. However, they are quite a lot cheaper than the RC so it might be worth it in the long run - and you can bulk buy the small packs online which helps.

So ... it's sleepy time ..... Maisie's flat out on the sofa snoozing:D, wee cat's disappeared upstairs so she'll be away to bed too and big cat .... well TBH he is driving me insane:o he's always been very vocal but since I've got back on Boxing Day he has howled ... non stop:eek: I have no idea what's wrong (I've tried all the usual suspects - food, in, out, cuddles etc) but not getting anywhere .....

Wind seems to have dropped a bit - was absolutely horrid this morning - & hopefully it'll stay that way for our afternoon walk shortly!

Rising, maybe Big Cat has been scared of the wind outside? My lovely puss hates wind and howls at it!

Hope you phoned CS re crumpets.
Even if just to tell them you will bring them in next time you are there.

Doggy heaven ....

A walk somewhere where I can stretch my legs & get lovely & muddy - yup, that is me flying back & forwards through those wonderful puddles!:D



Mum wasn't too happy when I got in the car & shook oopps!



Mum was trying to get me to pose ..... but there's far too many interesting things to look at!




Followed by something to chomp on when I got home .... *sigh* it's good to be home!
