    Great news about the boots, lovely MIL.

    What size fit flops do you take?

    Glad you enjoyed the meals out. Great news on the boots. I got some Skechers ones from QVC cheaper than anywhere else. They're really warm and comfy :)

  • Thanks all, I know I’m super lucky to have MiL :A.

    Maddie, I’m a size 7 in their flip flops and an 8 in the boots :cool:. SA, I’ve tried Sketchers but they don’t work as well for me as FitFlops do. I’d never have thought of QVC though, so thanks for that. Hairy, the boots aren’t exactly high fashion, and the price is shockingly high, but the wobbleboard sole is the best thing I’ve found for my PF.

    DH saw the Epilepsy Nurse today, and we explained his mood swings etc. She has to run it past the Consultant first, but we’ve been told to expect a letter increasing one of his meds :T.

    QVC do the easy pay when they've got an offer so worth keeping an eye on just in case. I've been advised to wear heels for my ankle so the Skechers boots are probably not ideal despite being so comfortable. I used to have a pair of MBT trainers they were fab, wonder what happened to MBT?

    Good news on DH meds, hope they work xx
