They have a sale on at the moment so I went in yesterday and saw a lovely pair of black wedge ankle boots. I need them in my life. I don't have enough money for them until Friday so I went home last night and my husband said he'd give me the money. I went back into the shop today, the boots have been reduced by another €15 but my size is gone :mad:

Rosie Rant wrote: » The phrase "If you don't mind me asking" when used unnecessarily, as if the question being asked is personal in nature, when it isn't. If the question was " And just how many bowel movements do you have a day, if you don't mind me asking?" - that is a personal question. The phrase is ok to use there. But the question I was asked was " And just how far away is the cinema from here? If you don't mind me asking.." Why would I mind being asked where the cinema is?
