Mine are:-

  1. to get to bed earlier- aim to get to sleep by 10pm every night (unless I have a hot social engagement of course)
  2. continue to e-bay off my no-longer-required clothes
  3. find the perfect bag

and yours???

Ooh Pointy. What kind of shoes do you like? Jones and Clarks both have gorgeous grey shoes in their sales.

CybilsDrivel · 03/01/2010 18:18

Don;t talk to me about Jones. The brown brogues I bought in there for £89 are now £39

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 18:18

really? I popped into clarks to browse the sale racks but saw none. Do you have link?

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 18:19

I need chunky (to balance robust calves), feminine but comfortable.

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 18:19

I've nebver been in a Jones, I never pass one

JaneiteIsTrite · 03/01/2010 18:30

These are nicer irl iirc

are nice but far too high for me

what you want but I bought thesewww.clarks.co.uk/find/OnSale-is-onsale/Gender-is-women/Colour-is-grey/product-is-2032532 9 I have never owned anything like that and was a bit scared of looking like a wannabe teenager but dd1 approved so I have risked it.

If you search the sale under grey there are a couple of pairs of boots too but not v exciting or nice tbh.

The grey shoes I loved are not on the site. They were scrummy slip on high heels with a slight platform. The four was too big and the three too small for me and I'd have probably fallen over in them anyway.

JaneiteIsTrite · 03/01/2010 18:31

Should say NOT what you want.

What are you up to?

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 18:45

I had to pay some serious attention to my feet last night. They are sloughing like crazy and hardening like chocolate over ice cream.

I was filing them for ages and spreading on the burt's peppermint foot cream. Nearly has a bad fall in the bathroom due to slippy feet.

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 18:49

these are the only grey sale shoes clarks hjave in my size. Not very inspiring

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 18:55

oo, lovely pair of grey shoes in schuh sale. Have never bought shoes online before. Risky.

MayorNaze · 03/01/2010 19:09

lol at robust calves pointers - makes you sound like a contemporary of miss fritton

MayorNaze · 03/01/2010 19:09

BEWARE scuh tends to come up small - order a size larger if i were you

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 19:15

It's a hush puppy shoe. I bought a pair of hush puppies last year and they are a bit tight across the top. I see one reviewer has said the same of these shoes. I don't think I should get shoes online.

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 19:16

and re miss fritton

MayorNaze · 03/01/2010 19:19

if anyone comes across some decent flat over knee boots without feckin tassles point me in that direction pls...

Ewe · 03/01/2010 19:20

Moisturise my body EVERY single god damn day.

Regular facials, pedicures and massages.

Bother to remove body hair more than once a quarter

poinsettydawg · 03/01/2010 19:21

there a re lots on schuh. Not your thing?

MangoMama · 03/01/2010 19:23

To throw away all skin toned and ugly undies and buy new, lovely and sexy lingerie!!!

To exercise & go veg.

To start using moisturizing cream - daily.

JaneiteIsTrite · 03/01/2010 19:24

How on earth did my links go mad? I was only on the Clarks site!

2nd pair were heeled Mary janes: nicer than the first.
3rd pair were leather converse type things that I bought for myself.

Scary Twilight Zone music........

DuelingFanjo · 03/01/2010 19:26

Mine is to make sure I have something ready to wear to work the night before every work day this year, starting tonight!

JaneiteIsTrite · 03/01/2010 19:28

DF - that makes a massive difference. I do it every night but then sometimes by morning have changed my mind about what I want to wear, which defeats the object as I then end up pratting about anyway deciding what I 'fancy' wearing instead.

MayorNaze · 03/01/2010 19:28

are there?

xcuse me a mo...

MayorNaze · 03/01/2010 19:30
