My Dad did that too Pauline as I used to wreck shoes when I was young. Dragging my feet as brakes on bike and swings and too many numerous other ways. As you probably gathered I was not a girly girl , no better now in later life LOL

Can't recall my dad doing that to mine - probably grew out of them too fast, but he did use to re heel his own shoes and resole with glued on what ever they are called bits. If we suggested that now, our offspring would think we were mad - throw away society - but don't think you can resole trainers! I still get my favourite/most comfortable shoes re heeled.

Mine are past re heeling now and I have got to buy a new pair SOBS!!! One problem I HATE SHOE SHOPPING !!! LOL Rant over

Poor you - you can never get exactly the same comfort to start with, can you? Do you use your old ones to pop out to the garden? Just had to down grade one pair (not worn for a few years) for that purpose as the 'garden' ones were letting in water lol

I don't own any shoes, it's boots in the winter and sandals in the summer. I get my favourite boots heeled.

I use trainers for working in the garden.

am back from Asda i was surprised at bill better than expected as it was bulky .Not sure if i am out today wiv froggy as he is working for a while today so will see i am laughing at the visions of bodge ups my ex was bad at them

I do have an ancient pair of trainers which occasionaly get used for that, but prefer slip one ones - quicker for popping round to the compost heap

i hate shoe shopping lol i need some new ones too

Ah yes DET they live on for Garden or painting jobs. I am so messy with a paint can LOL.

I have had a pair of Trainers for about 5 years now. They are Regatta ones and I wear then when I have a lot of walking to do they are sooooooooo comfy. I stepped back when I looked at the price of them in the shop but boy they have been worth every penny. The last pair of boots are bought are awful they seemed comfy at first but now they are tight. That is the problem with my ankles swelling occasionally.

Morning Maz, I nearly missed you there, back from shops already ???

Morning Maz - that was quick! Not sure what I'll do today. Had suggested we visited the inlaws, but think OH wants the comp when he surfaces. And I've finished the Christmas Books Sob sob. May have to resort to the dreaded HW!!!!

Andrew was playing footy at ten so it was an easy task and it was quiet too

LOL Det, that's going to extremes.

Stop swearing DET LOL.

I may actually try and get some cross stitch done later, I have still not finished the littlies birth sampler. She will be a granny herself before it's done at this rate LOL

Glad he is getting out and about...and can fit in chauffeur duty for his mum. BM has started to go to the gym to get fit for his snowboarding holiday at the end of Feb (money bags) We may be graced with his presence next week when he collects his snow kit. He's off to practice at the MK snow dome thingy today.

LOL LG.

Think I'd better go and make my son a cuppa, he's been trying to attract my attention for about half an hour.

lol if i am not going anywhere i am not going to that extreme well not all day anyway ,i might do some tree stuff then i am stuck i can get some firemen to help me

Ah the MK snow dome thinging I know it well. You should go and watch DET. It is great fun sitting in the observation area watching everyone fall over LOL LOL. Oh what a wicked person I am. Aslo fun looking at the skydivers in the wind thingy they lok so silly LOL LOL

I'm not house proud, and with in effect only 2 of us home all day, the place doesn't get messy (PC tends to stay in her room which is her responsibility).....and OH mucks in with big jobs. At least he isn't wearing a clean business shirt everyday now - hate piles of shirts. lol
