I have too many shoes

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.

I'm one of those people who can't resist looking in shops when there is either shoes to be tried on or there's closing down sign in a window.   So when I saw a shop full of gorgeous shoes with a BIG sign saying 'Closing Down Today' in Liverpool last weekend, then I had to investigate. For a quick and cheap fashion fix, this shop was perfect - no shoes under £40, a bright and colourful shop and loud music that gets you in the mood for a night out.  Don't get me wrong, for better quality shoes then you would need to go somewhere better on the high street.  But for £10, these shoes were a quick way to curb a need for retail therapy and were cheaper than two pints of lager and a bag of crisps in Blackpool!
