The car boot season is over for the year... I guess I won't be around as often but I'm still reading. Happy hunting one and all (and I will still haunt charity sops so I may report back from time to time).I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I've had this happen with a pair of Clarks shoes and have read reports about Hotters too.
Seems to be when you don't wear them very often.
As a self-confessed shoe-a-holic (I have 66 pairs of boots, 22 pairs of trainers, 20 pairs of shoes and 60 pairs of sandals) I don't wear my footwear very regularly.
I sold a pair of Skechers and a pair of DMs on ebay yesterday.8 -

I have an Excel spreadsheet that tells me exactly where any pair is - that's how I know how many pairs I have.

I had a chazzer / home furnishing-trawl with Mum yesterday - was such a beautiful day we walked from Leigh to Southend and back. I did finally get to browse in Cornerstone and picked up a couple of books for 10p each. St Vincents still not open which is a disappointment as I would have liked to have had a browse.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.3 -
