Shoes and handbags?
And you're going to a wedding?
Go back!
Drop whatever you're doing and go back right now to see if they fit!

I went back today, shoes were still there, fit perfectly - only too high for me to be comfortable all day

However I found a beautiful blazer. I don't know how to describe the colour, its like blue and teal stripes - different so they merge, with a black velvet jacquard over the top. Well whatever its beautiful, looks unworn as its dry clean only with not a mark, for £8

Looks great with me jeans

Gem-gem: I've read all the Chris Carter books (except his latest) and enjoyed them.
If you like Chris Carter, try Luke Delaney - excellent imo.

My aunt suggested David Baldacci. This was the first one of his that I have read. I will look out for the others that you have suggested, either at the library or cs.
No, I haven't read Nelson de Mille. Will look out for the author.
I am reading my was through James Patterson Alex Cross series. I have read all his Private books.
I am also reading John Grisham - the Rooster Bar at the moment - really enjoying it.
Claire Macintosh has published two books. I have read 'I see you' and have got 'I let you go' to read.
Have you read any Chris Carter? I have read the crucifix Killer, which was good. Have just got another one to read.
Thank you Pollycat.

A lady from NZ recommended David Baldacci to us when we were in Penang almost 20 years ago.

DigForVictory

Blimey well done! Makes my haul look a bit puny but oh the satisfaction.

Shorts, brand new, middle son for the use of, £3.
Shorts, brand new, husband for the use of, £3.
A recently published in paperback book by an author he enjoys £2 (! but a 1st ed paperback) & (All in the same shop!)
a 10" Denby flan dish the floral shape & I can't figure the pattern as it's just a shade of brown outside - £2. (I was just chucking money around, but the shorts meant the china got home safe & whole!)

Himself spotted a teapot in a charity pound shop (go figure!) - Denby blue outside white inside 1950-75 basestamp (with a teapot lid from someone else but it fits) and blowed if I can match the blue - darker than baby blue, paler than Imperial Blue & anyway white inside, no brown edge...

The Dig family is footsore but rather chuffed.
