Re: What have you just bought?
Okay so in case anyone is interested, this is what I bought yesterday:

DSC_0269p.jpg
As I bought them from a place that accepted Amex the Visa snafu / bungle didn't matter.
My daughter is pissed as I didn't get the stuff for her trip from the cheaper store (which doesn't take Amex, but oh well) and I got new shoes out of the experience.
What do all of you think?

Beautiful shoes. A bit too big a heel for me, but they are classy .

Re: What have you just bought?
Yeah those are on the low end for me usually - average for heels (for whatever reason) is usually 4 inches plus ; hubby gets annoyed if I dare wear flats.
No idea why - I am between 5 foot 8 and 9 - I am 6 foot plus with heels.

Re: What have you just bought?
Hi Chloe,  I'm Jo. I have no idea why Daddy should think I would be interested in shoes.  I think your shoe buy from yesterday shows great potential. 
Over the years I may, in passing, have talked about shoes, and the fact that my husband built me a dedicated shoe storage area and a display shelf may have made some people think that I am a shoe addict.
These days I seem to spend most of my time wearing Doc Martens and my latest pair, Pascal Wanderlust, are quite summery. If can sneak them past John I may treat myself to the Jagger version for my birthday.
Growing old disgracefully is fun.

I refuse to divulge the number on the grounds that it could be used to support a divorce due to unreasonable behaviour.

Argh, lucky you - my hubby would never do anything like that for me. Or knowing him, he would build one with the ability to only put shoes with stiletto heels in the rack / area, ergo gently encouraging me to stop wearing flats like I do maybe once every other week or so.

They look very bright / patterned...I think they are beginning to become like skirts - trend is very purple / mauve these days.

50!!!!! Don't stop misbehaving at 50. I'm 70 soon and I don't ever intend to grow old gracefully. What ever time I have left I intend to fight for the right to live life on my terms.

Re: What have you just bought?
I worry that I am mutton dressed up as lamb too much though. Doesn't help that in the area I live everyone starts behaving 70 when they hit 40!
I don't think that I behave in the most dignified way at the best of times, lol.

Lol, if my husband saw this he might try trade me in for you if you are so considerate like that. I think I have gone through over 50 pairs in the last 3 years or so. (Not counting how many heels I have replaced etc - though this place has terrible and uneven ground) and the fact that my feet don't grow in my late 20s etc.
He thinks that I go overboard, lol.

If you can afford it and have space a Harvey's water softener is brilliant. We have one and they do work. Ours is dual tank and metered which basically means it's like 2 softeners in one case. It meters the water flow and periodically switches to the other tank while it freshens (with salt - 2kg blocks) the previous tank. Other units can use a timer and one tank which means at some time in the day whether you've used water or not it will freshen itself (again with salt) and while it's doing that you get hard water.
(We are biased to Harvey as we can get free salt for referrals but they don't do offers other than interest free credit and you can trials it for 3 months - essentially rent it for 3 months, if you then buy you get the rental off the purchase.)
</ad>
I once bought some paper at Staples. I bought a crate/box but they scanned the wrong barcode and only charged me for a ream which I didn't discover 'til I got home. I phoned them to rectify but they thanked me for my honesty and let me have my "discount". I guess it was harder to charge the extra than it was worth the effort to do so.
