  • Keep your chin up, you will get everything sorted and those pb's I am sure.  I am also struggling I need/want/desperately want some lovely waterproof boots I am lusting over they are still in my basket.
    Have a good day I am cheering you on x

    Thank you ⭐️ 
    Might the boots be on a Black Friday deal? Or could you ask for money towards them for Christmas? I love boots! Boots and coats are my favourite clothing items.

    Do what my friends DiL did.  One FiL bought one boot the other FiL bought the other. One FiL is a step one, not that you would be able to tell.  Isn't it nice when mixed up families can all get on?
  • yes badmemory that is really nice .  
    I love coats too WW but also knitwear & fleeces :)

    I have given in today & not only ordered new slippers but also a new duvet.
    Ambles out.

  • Boots still in basket!! waiting to see if there is a black friday deal like you suggested.  We don't really do big pressies for christmas since covid decided just a token gift and then hopefully a special family day out in the spring.  
    I just love bright coloured comfy boots and unfortunately rie..r have some lovely ones at the moment, I also like coats and confess I have far too many but I love them all!  
    What is your new duvet like beanielou I think they can really cheer a bedroom up and give it a new look, money well spent and of course you need comfy slippers for winter, I confess I bought a pair last month x

    Lovely, you deserve them Beanie. Is it a duvet itself or a cover?  What kind of slippers? I’ve always been a fluffy sock person, but just recently my feet have still been cold.

    Slippers are a wee bit old dear ones as I need a strap. Hey ho..

    would love new boots as the ones I have on today hurt my feet when I wear two pairs of socks  :(

    Would your existing boots be warm enough with one pair of socks and insulated insoles? Hopefully, this would stop your feet from hurting.
