I saw a woman in the Science Museum today, who really could only be described as having "let herself go"

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Grey streaky "hanging" hair, huge arse and fat tum in grey tracky bottoms, footglove shoes, shapeless burgundy tunic top and hanging tits. She really looked like she had given up on life. In contrast, she had three dear little, divinely trendily dressed girls with her. She had obviously put a lot of thought and effort into what they were going to wear (down to the very funky hat one of them was wearing) but hadn't even spent five minutes on herself.

Why?

But it's OK, because I don't wear my Birkies with my dungarees..

THAT WAS A JOKE! I DO NOT AND HAVE NEVER POSSESSED A PAIR OF DUNGAS!

So didn't you visit me then?

I'm in Carlisle.

I wear crocs too and they are gold!!!!Very cruise ship

I always think the wearing of lesbian shoes and indeed dykey clothes throws my lusciously feminine body and rampant heterosexuality into sharp relief.
I may be wrong.

We will soon be in a much better position to visit you, Rhu .

I had some dungas as a girl.

That's about all they're good for.

That and workies.

Let's face it no-one would dream of keeping their Birkies on for sex.

Nor their crocs for that matter ExPatinscotland.

So, is it actually possible to get comfortable sandals that aren't considered hideous, then?

he he he
they probably fled south of the border faster than you could say "If you put your brains in a bumblebee, he would fly backwards."

Well I hope you are neat and tidy expat, we don't have scruffies in our house you know!

Harpsi - I think you'll be OK as long as you don't wear a T shirt with "Muffmuncher" emblazoned on the front...

I put some wedges on to do the school run today. got nearly to the front door before swapping them for the birksters.
it's hot. I am getting old. I like comfy shoes. so shoot me.

I LOVE Peebles!!!!!!

We stayed there on my one and only visit to Scotland!!!!

yes, a friend of mine got a cute pair out of clarks they are stappy and white with a little bit of beading. I didn't think Clarks did things like that.

whoops sorry I typed, went to settle baby, came back and posted by which time you were about 1000 messages ahead of where I'd left off.

aurgh

Are flip flops also a no-no?

clarkes do some lovely shoes IMO

You might want to keep your Birkenstocks on for sex , but they'd fall off. People who wear footglove shoes don't have sex.

leather flip flops are ok

They were gone as the crow flies, PPH, although I heard them mumbling about us as we were getting into the car on the river.

'But the man sounds Scottish!' (DH)

Imagine that!

What a novelty!

(How is that lovely baby pph. not really a baby now unless you pulled in another one )

And Clarks?

Are they considered out of bounds for grown-ups?

This started out so juicy and judegmental and handbags-at-dawn and has degenerated into a bunch of women talking about bloody SHOES.

Remove Watch!!
