I bought more shoes. These ones, in the sale. In my defence, knirirr left me alone in a shoe shop whilst he spent an hour in the O2 shop, buying an iphone*, which is dangerous. And they are very comfy, as heels go. But I have far, far too many shoes, and almost nowhere to wear nice ones any more. Woe. I should not have got them :-(
I did manage to find an old, very clean copy of EZ's Knitting Without Tears in the nice bookshop in Banbury, though, for only £3.45, which was a bit of a result.
Mam asked me what I wanted for my birthday. My suggestion of some KnitPicks Options was greeted by the riposte "but we bought you some pink interchangeable needles a few years ago, why do you want more?" Apparently my other suggestion, an ipod Touch, is being investigated. I have guilt for even suggesting something so expensive, though.
ION, I have never seen such a heavy frost. You'd've thought it had snowed. We have bought some nuts to hang out for the birds, who seem extremely cold.

*seriously the cutest, most beautiful bit of kit I've seen in ages

My parents also bought me Denises a few years ago, and then more recently, smiorgan bought me the Knitpicks needles, leading to angst recently when my mum asked to borrow some needles, and the most sensible ones to lend were the Denises because I always use the Knitpicks now... :-( I used the excuse that sometimes you need two matching needles, or the one you want is already in use, so it's important to have lots!

I'm not sure I have the energy to do the arguing with my mother. Though if she balks at the pod completely, I may have to.
They are totally different things, though, right?

Very cute shoes :-)

I liked the way they looked like brogues, me :-)

Those are yum shoes! If I was capable of wearing heals at the mo I might have even considered a pair myself. And what do men expect if they leave you alone with shoes... they whisper such tempting things!

Hee!
Trouble is, I persist in buying heels, even though they hurt my feet so much, even my doc heels. These felt fairly comfy; but I can't imagine where or when I'll wear them.
