I only ever wear flat heels these days, and hate shoe shopping. I put it down to the trauma of being a young teenager in the 1970's when huge wedge heeled shoes were 'in'. I wanted wedges, and my mum didn't want me to have wedges. It meant shoe shopping was a battle ground. I've never quite recovered. But my mum was probably right - flat heels are far more comfortable!

I have flat ballerinas made by Kangol and £17 off ebay.
Leather and very easy to wear.

Mums are always right, darn it;). The times my Mum said I'd ruin my feet with the shoes I insisted on wearing as soon as I was in a position to buy my own choice not hers:eek:

I like heels because they make me as tall as year 7. With flats nobody can see the teacher!

I had a *great* pair of wedges - they were really tall at the front too, so the actual shape of my foot wasn't distorted at all :rotfl:

Really big heels, the sort my eye approves of, take me near to six foot, but at least they mean I don't slouch :rotfl:

Ballerinas - tricky for me, to be honest. They look good when I *see* them, but I don't connect for me personally. Plus, having done ballet till I was 18, I walk like a ballerina in them - not the toe first you might expect, but clonking heel first, its not a good look :rotfl:

I'm going to take pix of all the shoes I have that are in the running, and post them up on my personal blog, with linkie here - its never monetised, so it must be permissible, and its still anonymous.

Thanks for the Tutankamun link Ellidee! Isn't it fascinating ... almost a hundred years since the initial discovery. I hope they can keep safe whatever they find, the sites and even the museums are being looted in Egypt at a heartbreaking rate, so say the peeps in the know at the Egyptian society

As promised, here's the third dress: http://www.kaliko.co.uk/kaliko/floral-burnout-prom/06003897503500012.html

Its a bit safe, thats my feeling, I really want the Phase Eight lookalike, but the colour is probably a bit intense for me at my age and with my colouring (pale, except when I have a single glass of wine, when I go bright red!).

The workers at the council tip are amazing round my area, really helpful, really good, so even at peak time we did well. I'd researched a bit of a walk, but we needed welly boots to get anywhere, and didn't have them, so instead we went to view a new build apartment block locally - omigod, it was beautiful! Really spacious - not often you can say that about new builds, fire doors into the lounge/dining/kitchen, and they also had what they're calling an intumescent strip - if you close those doors during a fire, it gives you an extra 30 minutes safety, for the fire brigade to get to you. And this was even on a ground floor flat.

Ellidee, I just love the quote in your signature:

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.


Perfectly sums up the state we procrastinators are permanently in:o

Is it by anyone well-known (forgive me for not recognising it if it is:o) or did you compose it yourself?
