They were the same ones, you were all right and i was SOOOOOOO wrong. Well they looked DIFFERENT on my computer. They did. Truly. I am sorry i didn't believe you. I am sorry I shouted about it. I now have in my hands a pair of teal shoes and they are definitely a greenish colour, and i really like them. Whether they fit is another matter, but THANK YOU ALL (especially fabio who emailed me to insist i ordered them)

you know how important shoes are and i would like to thank all of you, hush puppies, barack obama and Justine for making this possible

xxxx

Oh I'm so pleased for you Franny

I thought you were a vegetarian though

FrannyandZooey · 12/06/2009 09:35

i have just had immense row with ds1 because he couldn't find the right t-shirt he wanted to wear

wherever does he get it from

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 12/06/2009 09:36

LOL at being scared of Franny

she is about as scary as a stuffed rabbit with a pink bow around its neck

MamaG · 12/06/2009 09:42

I can't explain it Greeny. You either get it or you don't

Greensleeves · 12/06/2009 09:42

oi twisty I want your cleverness on my MIL thread...

here

Greensleeves · 12/06/2009 09:43

I think my ds1 gets it MamaG - he was so overawed by her he had to throw himself in a lake to cool down

MamaG · 12/06/2009 09:49

LOL! I think that would be me

PS. I know I'm not twisty, but I answered your thread anyway

FrannyandZooey · 12/06/2009 10:41

it is great to be thought of as even mildly scary

Franny that was very mean of you, to post that pic - I have an actual phobia of people dressed up in animal costumes. I'm serious, I really do

I'm really REALLY glad you've seen that I was joking about hte vegetarian thing, I get so riled when people whine say "rah rah you're a veggie but you're wearing leather shoes". I always hiss "oh fuck off" in my head but will remember the "well I'm not going to eat my shoes" line for next time.

DaddyG · 12/06/2009 12:51

God I must change back to mamaG

Lulumama · 12/06/2009 12:53

PMSL at greeny ' scary as a stuffed rabbit with a pink bow!!

brill

FrannyandZooey · 12/06/2009 18:48

oh dear sorry MamaG - i didn't know that!
is it based on anything?

yes i did go off muttering to myself about it "so i suppose EVERYONE else you know is COMPLETELY consistent, hmm? so i suppose we all have to be PERFECT now do we? hmmm????"
but not because i thought you were likely to be being unreasonable, it was just a knee jerk mutter
sorry

That thread reminded me of your infamous 'skirt' thread Franny. Scarred for life by that one we were. You are sooooo difficult to please.

FrannyandZooey · 12/06/2009 19:20

this was nothing like the skirt thread at all
the skirt thread went to about 600 posts for a start
it's still one of my favourite skirts though
