Bargain Basement Boots


A few weeks ago I was feeling really sorry for myself.  But, I think the gods of retail were looking down on me when I popped to our local Tesco supermarket for milk and a loaf and came home with these boots.



The best part about it, was how much they cost; priced at £25.00, I got them for the princely sum of 50 pence! You can't even buy a packet of Smarties for that.   I nearly didn't spot them as the bargain basket in the shop was surrounded by ladies who weren't for moving.  So I had to dive in like one of those grab machine at an amusement arcade and grab myself a pair.  Luckily I managed to get a pair in my size and got myself to the self service tills to 'ring' up my purchase.  PS I didn't forget my milk and loaf.

Nice boots! So simple yet so dainty. I think this will look good on dark colored jeans and a grey coat plus a plain white tee.

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
