    Yes - but at just under 5 feet tall, I'd look silly with size 6 feet. ;)

    One pair was a fab wedding/occasion pair in fuchsia pink leather with a pink & purple trim in a flower design. Unworn (wedding didn't happen :(). I tried to sell them on ebay but had no takers. Of all the items I'd listed, I was sure these would be snapped up.
    But hopefully, someone will get a bargain. :)

    Pollycat - sometimes you need to relist and relist an item before the right buyer happens upon it.

    Hi dolly84
    Thanks.
    The stuff I've listed has been on for at least 5 times.
    It's just stuff that's been in my wardrobe or drawers and I know I'll never wear it.
    I've been really surprised that the items that I thought would fly have had zero interest and vice versa.
    I'm clearing the decks as I'm having foot surgery very soon and I don't want my OH to have to parcel stuff up and trek to the Post Office. :( It's my project.
    So - be warned - no bargains for me to report for a couple of months.
    I'm relying on living vicariously.
    Ladies (and Gents) do not let me down. :naughty:

    Also, I might have to dash back to my local community chazza tomorrow as I spotted a lovely Denby casserole-type dish with lid yesterday priced at £2.

    I did the 'Denby Dash' this morning and it was still there....now I'm wondering why nobody else wanted it....seems a bargain to me. It is Denby at House of Fraser and not Debenhams btw :o

    Miro, you've already shown you can see things others miss, with that glorious framed scarf.
    A nice Denby pot can be a windowsill garden, a filing tool or even a casserole - just please don't mix glue or toxic dye-stuffs? Unless there are chips or cracks, at which point, whatever sparks joy.
