    PH is a US size 11 (checked on wiki - how sad am I?)

    lol, yeh so US size 11 is UK size 9 isnt it. so you have the same size feet as Paris! doesnt sound so bad :o

    Are you tall though pollyskettle? Nothing wrong with big feet if you are tall. I'm 5'9" so i guess my feet are in proportion

    :eek: a 9!
    Is that UK or US sizing though? Cos that would make her a UK 7 ;)
    yep! she is a UK size 9!! I dont know how she has many gorgeous shoes, and i have no idea where she buys them, cause I thought people with size 9 feet struggled to get nice pretty shoes, as no where stocks that size!
    Speaking of which size 9 womens shoes sell for loaddds on ebay!

    We do, I live in timberlands and cats. I haven't had pretty shoes since I was about 7 :o. Next do some 9s now and some of them fit, some don't depending on the style. Unfortunately, they don't include the pretty ones and those they do include tend not to fit. I do have a few pairs of size 9 boots from there though :)

    Tell me about it! My feet cost me a fortune :rotfl: As I've mentioned to Fay before, my nine year old daughter is already in size 5's so she's got all this to look forward to.

    The only good thing I've found so far is that what they say about childbirth and big feet is true - my best time was 1/2 hour start to finish. There's only so many times you can do that though and I'm stopping at 3!

    ah well my first labour was only 6 hours (i only have one child) so thats not too bad, ive heard of worst! wow half an hour! fab! lol

    Ployskettle use this site: http://www.tallgirls.co.uk/ they hav elots of bigger sized shoes, some nice ones too!

    I envy you being 5'4"! that means you can wear huge heels which make your feet look smaller anyways! :o:o

    Does the same logic apply later in life? My daughter took forever to come and she's been bad at timekeeping ever since. Now she's at Uni she's still as bad but can only blame herself though.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Not sure about birth times effecting lateness, but It can be genetic I'm sure! I am exactly like your daughter, but my mum is just as bad :o

    You could be right, her mums a definite Duvet lover whereas I tend to wake with the dawn and have trouble getting back to sleep.
