But that would be shoes like high heels or nice shoes that I would rarely wear, whereas my daily shoes would be Skechers cos they're so comfy. I could never, ever pay €200 for any item of clothing! Seems such a waste. I'm pretty sure my wedding dress would cost less than €100 when I get down to it after all, I'll only wear it once!

I refuse to spend more than 15e on new shoes (except my skechers walking shoes that i wear daily, which are ~€60) But i don't deny that I'm a stinge for shoes, i just can't justify spending more than that for shoes i don't get much use out of!

They show up in a 7 seater car, and take the top half of the cabinet and said they'd come back for the other half, but they'd bring a van because it was too wide for their car. I got a message off them when they left to say I can just get rid of the other half, they don't want it but are keeping the top part and not bringing it back. They couldn't understand that other people were interested in it, and it was no use to them in half. Is that ridiculous or am I just crazy?
This little piggy wrote: » Jaysus. I have a few pairs of shoes and boots etc up for sale on Adverts, worn but in good condition. Clearly marked collection only, no postage. Someone has asked for a pair that I've marked €2 and another pair marked €3. What's the best price I can offer her for both, including postage. If someone asked to collect them for free, I'd go for it just to get rid of them. But like feck am I going to all the effort to parcel them up and bring them to the post office and sort out transferring money etc, for the sake of less than a fiver!
