    Funny you should mention shoes 2p. I was ...pulled up... for my choice of shoes the other day at work. OMM was doing her thing, and I might have said "ach yer hole" or similar. Next thing she's pointing out my "unprofessional shoes" :confused: I compounded the issue by saying - well you're quite right, they don't have a single qualification between them. That was not The Right Answer :grimace:

    Here are said shoes. They're marvellous and I love them. The colour hasn't come out right, in real life they're a beautiful rich-but-dull torquoise colour and they're heavenly comfy :love: 



    (I was out earlier looking round the charideee shops for some truly unprofessional shoes, but the price of them with xmas coming! :o )

    Something like this YBE?

    And for when you get home

    :lol:  I was looking more at the ankle-breaker stiletto types, red 'satin'/silver sequins, dangly charms, open toed type jobbers, but I wasn't for paying £35+ just to prove a point.

    I wouldn't mind the floorboards and fireplace in your second pic though :blush:
