know the feeling these two go through loads of towels/bedding in this weather

OMG I am sooooo glad I didn't change them!

Just back and .... OMG you've never seen anything like it - the little monster decided to go into the field opposite the sprout one - which has been ploughed & has just as many muddy puddles :eek::eek: and then into a ditch :eek::eek::eek:

I did try to rinse her off a bit in a puddle but ........ ended up having to tie her to the drain pipe and try to rinse her off with a few jugs of water when we got home!

WM on! Goodness knows where I'm going to dry the towels as already have non-TD-able washing of my own hanging around upstairs :eek:

Ohhhh thanks - these look quite interesting http://www.cottontraders.co.uk/womens-boots/faux-fur-lined-boots/invt/aq10502/

Have seen similar on Ama*zon etc but struggling with some of the sizings as a lot of them now seem to be 4/5 (too small) or 6/7 (too big!)

Hello Rising,

I haven't posted before but just thought I would add... I purchased those boots for my Mum for christmas and they are amazing, just gutted I didn't get any for myself. My Mum takes a 5/6 so went for a 6 and they are perfect, I too take a 6 and they are extremely confy and perfect for dog walking :T However I purchased them instore as opposed to online.

Not that I am tempting you of course

Hi posting ...... well errrrrr - all I can say is, fantastic to have a good review as I've ordered some!:o

I'm a 4 to a 4.5 but since I'm lumbered with the gammy foot, I always need to go the size up (rather than being able to get into the 4s - I do believe I have some M&S shoes which are 3.5s!)

I've ordered the size 5s so hopefully they'll be lovely & comfy! Some of the others I've looked at have been size 3/4 (too small) or 5/6 (too big!) so it was great to find someone who does proper sizes!:)

I would love to have gone to a shop to try them but the nearest one would cost more in fuel than the postage to return them (hopefully won't be needed!)

Fingers crossed!

Sorry Rising. However I hope they are what you need and are comfy. Ahhh thats not very MSE then, thankfully we were in the garden centre that has a cotton traders shop hence why I could buy them offline. Let us know how you get on

:wave: Beanie!

Right ..... had a lovely snooze after our morning walk (really tired today - guess it could be all the extra work with Maisie being home ... but she's worth it!) until I was very rudely awoken by a big lick!:) She'd obviously decided I'd been asleep long enough!

About to head off for our afternoon walk - think we're going to the beach as really can't face a mud bath 3 days in a row!:o:eek: Only just finished washing all the towels / bedding ......

It's a bit windy so might not be that pleasant but well, we'll see - at least it shouldn't be too busy!:)

Will pop into Mr T & top up the fuel tank .... have a very small shopping list - let's see if I can stick to it!

Bets please ....

I know you can stick to it Rising. Just close your eyes when you go past all the offers. Remember Mr T is the devil in a thin disguise :mad:
