Link to previous thread:

http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/4908395-is-this-cf-and-have-i-been-out-of-order

So sorry for the delay. I know I promised I'd do another thread after dinner last night.
Then sort of had second thoughts as some posters started commenting on my previous thread that I was enjoying the drama, then tattle started getting involved etc etc.

I have been blocked on social media, as well as family and friends. We've all been turfed out but who cares. I have my lovely shoes back.

Letter was sent signed for today.
Hopefully she receives it tomorrow!

Thanks again for everyone who helped.

A happy ending (and £300 odd short) but that's what I'm aiming to get back now.

Glad you got them back op

Jesus Christ if you think the thread is fake then just leave. OP shouldn't have to upload pictures of her home to please you.

Also the shoes are real in my opinion, I'm not an expert but I am a person who owns more than 10 pairs.

AutumnFroglets · 02/10/2023 17:51

oh those shoes are beautiful, no wonder you wanted them back.

Be prepared to wave byebye to the money. Sometimes the stress it brings you isn't worth it.

Erm, are they? OK then. Astounded what some people will spend money on🤔
Especially that much. Nowt so queer as folks.

Twazique · 03/10/2023 12:18

I hope you and the other friends that she owes money too all take her to the small claims court and are all heard in front of the same judge!

amusedbush · 03/10/2023 12:25

The troll hunting here is bonkers! OP, I'm so glad you got your beautiful shoes back.

P.S. @IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel I've just noticed your username and I laughed out loud. I love his Tiktoks and I quote "I don't care, Matthew!" far too often 😅

Where is 'I don't care Matthew' from?

It's from a series of skits on Tiktok. The creator's name is Luke Hamnett and he plays the long-suffering mum of someone called Matthew Grin

This thread has sent me down a rabbit hole of Louboutin stilettos and how anyone ever manages to wear them - the super high vertical ones anyway. People upload YouTube videos of themselves (miraculously) walking in them and not breaking their ankles. Possibly for the gratification of foot fetishists, I don't know, but I am riveted nonetheless. Is it agony? Could you enjoy your wedding day with those on your feet? How does anyone stay upright? They are absolutely beautiful, and I am in awe but I have never experienced such hypothetical pain as looking at that photo and imagining myself trying to take one single step in them.

I only have one pair of LouBou’s and wear them occasionally.

However, I saw what looked like an Eastern European possibly Russian Instagrammer woman the other week (6pm time), dressed up in a short black dress, with what looked like the very high heel version of LouBous, walking back and forth and around and looking very glam, in the middle of a push button crossing at a busy road junction in the area where I live being filmed and photographed by a friend. I mean if she could wear and walk in them then props to her but I was more shocked by the location she was using (not that glam to me!).

I’ve actually gone off that style (the main black shoe red sole) LouBou now anyway.

yes they are

Has it ever occurred to you that if you don't relate to something or someone, it's easier simply to pass on by without being sneery?

And the 'Erm, are they?' - your very pleasant response to someone calling them lovely shoes. Some people have different tastes. I love them, and it's not your place to tell me they aren't beautiful as they aren't your shoes.

Stop being so bitter. Anyone would think you're CF.

I'm so invested now in this, having spent my lunchtime reading the threads. I hope you get your money back.

Can you apply to go on Judge Rinder? Surely they'd love this?

Fiddlerdragon · 03/10/2023 14:19

So- when do we get to see the letter. I’ve sat down with a cuppa before the school runs and swimming lessons and its not here (shame on you op) 😬

Playingintheshadow · 03/10/2023 14:20

What is the matter with the saddos who have gone out of their way to trick the OP and catch her out?

Are your lives so boring and unfulfilling? Maybe you should get out more?

@IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachelglad you got your lovely shoes back. I don't think I could even stand in them let alone walk!! I look forward to hearing how you get on with getting your money from CF.

MinnieGirl · 03/10/2023 14:27

I keep checking back to see if there’s an update about CF getting her letter….😂

So you thought it was acceptable to make a mean post on a thread based on you not liking the shoes? And to quote me to do it?

Yeah you are right, nowt so queer as folks. Good grief 🙄

Raincloudsonasunnyday · 03/10/2023 14:38

OMG my back hurts just looking at those heels! They're very nice, OP, but how on earth?!

What's mean about personal taste? You like em, I don't. Hardly a crime.

AutumnFroglets · 03/10/2023 15:01

It was the disparaging way you had to post. And we all see it. Uncalled for and snippy. And still doing it.

Turfwars · 03/10/2023 15:01

My most comfortable heels are the Michael Kors platform 7inch ones. I have worn those all evening, whereas the ones I have from the likes of M&S and Next are not as comfortable even if they are several inches lower.

Figgygal · 03/10/2023 15:04

Dear God the amateur detectives are out on here aren't they
Give it a bloody rest you bores

IncompleteSenten · 03/10/2023 15:08

Women who can walk in heels that high amaze me. I love the shoes but I'd break my neck if I tried to wear them. I don't know how you do it. I fall over in thick socks 😁

I've never been able to either - it's a skill! I've always worn flats.

LiesDoNotBecomeUs · 03/10/2023 15:20

They are really lovely shoes OP!

I agree about not being able to walk (or stand) in them. Danger-money would be required (for myself and those about me.)

I imagine that (unlike me) you are very cat-like willowy and poised though!

These are the sort of shoes I'll want when I'm arthritic/wheel-chair bound. I'll enjoy looking at them very much and won't need to take a step in them. For now I'll stick with my sea-boots :)

AcrossthePond55 · 03/10/2023 15:22

Beautiful shoes!! I'll bet you felt just like a fairy princess on your wedding day!

The heels are just as high as the (NOT designer) ones we used to wear to go out disco dancing in the 70s. If I tried to wear heels that high now I'd fall and break a hip!
