  • Aye they are, lethal even! 

    I’ve actually redone the soles twice. Held them over the hob and scratched a new hatchety pattern in them to make them grip again. It did work for a while. 
    As I suspected, somebody has been adding soil to my garden. The plot thickens...

    Which pair?
    The sheepskin or the possum? Or both?  :p
  • @YoungBlueEyes 10 years wear is a bargain. Agree about the possum wool. DH had some fab and super warm fingerless gloves made of it.

    Recently
    A Cath Kidston style navy canvas bag with silver stars and a stripy strap £4

    Reiss teal heavy cotton jumper with side pockets £4. I suspect it may have been donated cos it takes so long to dry.

    A Jonnie B (kids Boden) velvet leopard print long jacket £5. Armholes on the snug side but otherwise fits me perfectly.

    @Pollycat, @YoungBlueEyes  Just remembered....on a previous occasion when KiwiSheepskins got a mention on this site the company got in touch and offered a discount code to MSE'rs!  Here's hoping.......... ;)
  • Can you wear those type of boots in wet weather? I did see a pair in a charity shop a few weeks ago.

    Oh, I just read your whole post and realised you said you can't. That is what puts me off that style of boot as it does seem to rain a lot by the sea.

  • @potternerd Yep 10 years (or maybe 11). They’re not even really dead yet, just worse for wear. 

    Anyway I went in and they didn’t have my size or the same style. It’s full over-the-ankle boots, or mule type things, or some nonsense called sliders. And the price has more than doubled!! I know it’s been a long while like, but I’m not paying north of £200 for slippers! I’ll check out your kiwi link and see if I can get something similar. I’ll happily pay for quality that lasts (ie another decade) but £219.99 is just ridiculous 😡

    Oh and the gloves I meant were the long black ones in the pic with the sports top. But I’ll take either. Or both!
