    Glad it didn't have a worse outcome and pleased your boss reacted that way

    Hope you manage to find some comfy shoes and work today passes by without incident

    Glad you got recompensed, but I'm sure it's one of those situations that you would rather it hadn't happened in the first place..........

    Hope you're diving into croissants and good coffee as I type.

    I was 33 once - a long, long time ago! Clarks shoes are so comfortable (thanks to their bungee insoles). I was always on my feet all day and hated thin, hard sole that you can feel everything through! M&S Footglove are similar, too.

    I'm heading to 40 this year.... and found myself in Hotter on Friday, my Nan used to shop there!!
