I have just spent £42 on a pair of slippers, someone come and tell me the Celtic Sheepskin ones are nice

[LaurieScaryCake]

these ones in a lovely slate grey

They're a bit expensive (understatement of century) but I think I'll feel less guilty if I have them for Christmas.

Anyone got some and can make me feel better about my extravagant purchase?

[Indith]

I want those so much, I got the catalogue through my door for some reason and they look amazing.

[MacaroonIncident]

OH Y GOD
i got dome for ds2 and he adored them

he is 9 and not a normal slipper wearer

[MelonCauli]

I have those in the light brown colour (as in the ones on the right in the picture). They are fab - comfiest slippers I have ever had. The soles are very hard-wearing and I wear mine outside to put the bins out etc. I've not worn them to pick the kids up from school ....yet.

You will love them.

[LaurieScaryCake]

Thanks for that, just clicking fingers impatiently til they arrive now

also bought the short Celtie boots too - never had a pair of 'uggs' before

[MacaroonIncident]

ds2 wants me to get the uggs
we are getting bootee slippers for hte others for xmas

[pointyhat]

hmm. I don't think I could say anything that would make you feel better about your purchase

[Slubberdegullion]

I have a pair on my feet RIGHT NOW, they are in lovely vole though.

lololol lovely vole

sorry

have not been drinking



yes.

very warm, good grippy sole etc. I give them my personal recommendation.

[stakethroughtheheartofgold]

i have similar but cheaper from nz, with a soft sole cos i can stand unbendy slippers. i love them dearly. i'm sure you'll be very happy together.

[pointyhat]

granny slippers in vole? Do they also do weasel?

[pointyhat]

I see they do whisky. Shame there's no pink gin. Or advocaat

[pointyhat]

Do you know, stake, that thought crossed my mind. I don't like an unbendy slipper either.

[Slubberdegullion]

These are not granny slippers thankyouverymuch, so long as you don't have the cuff bit rolled down you are, oh how do they say it, Fashion Forward. Oh yes.

[Slubberdegullion]

THESE BEND THESE BEND.

I am bending my foot in them as we speak. Good toes, naughty toes. It's all happening.

[overmydeadbody]

um....

um....

slippery slope into old age

[LaurieScaryCake]

I've bought mine in slate (the blue was too bright) to go with my bought-in-the-sale Boden knitted blue striped dressing gown as its just got cold enough for the first time to wear it.



glad most of you are endorsing my purchase

[WinkyWinkola]

I've got these. They're so very warm. I swear it saves money on our heating bills. DH loves his too.

I was a bit foolish and got the dcs a pair each too last year which they've obviously grown out of but the kids' range is really nice too. I love their catalogue.

A good purchase imo.

[pointyhat]

re bending - the test is are they still comfy when kneeling on the living room floor?

[overmydeadbody]

should have known you'd have a pair slubber

[MacaroonIncident]

i like the turned down look
or me that would be my weekend slipper look

[overmydeadbody]

depends on why you are kneeling on the living room floor pointy

[MacaroonIncident]

i got ds2 the adult size

£££££

[pointyhat]

lolol

helping the dds with cursed knitting today

[LaurieScaryCake]

it's ummmm....nice to know that while kneeling on my living room floor for nefarious purposes my feet will be comfy

[Slubberdegullion]

oh bog off omdb. It's the slippery slope into warm comfortable feet and that is all.

I've been wearing my sheepies since I was just a young lass just as my mother and her mother before her wore theirs. These slippers step OUT of fashion and into the higher realm of things that work, like antibiotics, windscreen wipers and um self raising flour.

[stakethroughtheheartofgold]

oh i read that in my convos as bogof and thought you had an irresistible slipper bargain to share slubber [hcrestfallen]
