I have spent the last 1 and half hours at the hospital, DD fell outside and badly hurt her hand and cutting it quite deeply . Hospital was quiet so she was seen quickly and the lovely nurse has cleaned her up and put sterri strips on the cut and bandaged her up, she is now laid on the sofa resting .

Bought 2 daily mirrors on the way home for the aldi vouchers wil do a shop tomorrow and another next thursday.

Hope DD is ok when shes had a chance to recover from the shock!

And I have to admit to loving the red Docs - I seem to remember pestering my mum and dad for a gorgeous purple pair when I was 9 and I wore them for about 3 years until my feet had a growth spurt and they stopped fitting. Tempted to go look for a new pair myself now as my old hiking (aka everyday wear) boots are falling apart.

Thanks scuba, she is already feeling brighter especially as an item we put on ebay this morning has just sold as a buy it now, so far she has made £6 and has labelled a little tin with Doc M fund, will give her the money tomorrow when i go shopping.

I've also received £15 from opinion people.

Aww poor DD! Hope she's feeling better soon...I used to have a pair of black DM's when I was about 14 I loved them! Wore them with everything lol then I sold them last year for £25 so not bad they are now being worn by my BIL's sister lol. Good investment/choice by your DD i'd say! Kudos to her for raising the money herself too, I made my son save for a ps3 too mainly because I hate things like that but also to teach him a valuable lesson!

Payday here tomorrow and also pasta bake with left over chicken & veg lol, yum yum!

Thanks DFW, I hope they last her a while and once she has outgrown them she can sell them on and fund her next pair.

Ah, brings back memories of me having to pay for my own shoes, although mine were kickers that were hugely fashionable. My mum got them from her catalouge and i paid her weekly from my wages from my saturday job!

Good luck to her!!

(secretly wishes i could pull off a pair of red doc m's!!) :rotfl:

Omg yes Kickers, think I was about 14/15 when they were the thing to have, worn at school with long socks scrunched down :rotfl:.

I also wish I could pull of the DOCs as well.

I had forgotten about the socks, used to have to wear two pairs so they went up to your calf when scrunched!!!

Yes 2 pairs of the over the knee socks and the folds had to perfect, spent ages in a morning making sure they were the same :rotfl:
