Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

In other news I keep meaning to say that someone sent me smarties.
No idea who it was but it was it was a lovely surprise.
They came last week.

Bit of a pain as I wore the shoes yesterday & when I fell they got all scuffed.
Story of my life really.
Feeling a tad defeated.

Oh dear sorry Beanie. Keep plodding.

Rubbish about the shoes and more falls. Just rubbish....
If the shops ever open again you will have to go and try some on....but there’s not many places that stock suitable shoes. Do you have shuropody  shops near to you ( I think that’s the right spelling - it’s a play on chiropody) We have a couple around here at outlook villages and they sell hotter, and other shoes recommended by podiatrists.

Not heard of them Milann. 

I am desperate to get a new lampshade for a wee lamp that Master J keeps knocking over. It’s now covered in cat hairs and has a rip in it. Past redemption. 

No idea where to get one at the moment

Morning Beanie

Have you got any supermarkets in your area that sell home wares? Or a DIY store? Failing that somewhere online like eBay?

Hope today is a decent one for you XX

My Mum wears Hotter shoes - she gets their secret sale emails. They also have a clearance section on their website where discontinued colours or size limited leftovers are listed. Here's a link

Thanks SA & SL. 

I had a bad experience with a lovely pair of purple hotters which put me off a bit. 

I shall maybe revisit them at some point.

Beanie Normally charity shops are the first port of call for lampshades.
s already said shops like B & Q, Homebase and the Range are open.
In England the first port of call in shops is Wilko.
It looks like their closest shop to you is Edinburgh, so too far. They do deliver but it looks like they charge £5.

Thanks.😊 

There is no where local to me that sells anything like that & the problem is that if I travel to go somewhere that sells them I have to stand in a blooming queue. Which is physically hard at the moment.  

First world problems!

Try ebay 
as long as you have the measurements and choose a neutral colour rather than trying to match, you should be fine. 

We just bought some curtains off there and they are great. It was an odd shaped window and we ended up on a page that sold curtains for caravans which fit perfectly. Turns out they are made just down the road from us, which is even better 😄
