- Fun and flirty or sensible and practical
Normally I play it safe when it comes to underwear and always opt for a practical bra that I can wear under most of my tops without it looking bulky. But there I was standing in M&S with two bras in my hand, one was practical and very boring but I knew I would get a lot of wear out of it and the second which had the label fun and flirty, was cream with pink polk a dots and some frilly pink lace.
- How long would you queue?
Twice a year I go clothes shopping with my husband. First in January when he has some Christmas money to spend, and then in June just after his birthday. Quite how I ended up with a man who has so little interest in what he wears or buys is a mystery to me.
- I love shoes
I love shoes. I am not in the same league as Imelda Marcos but I adore pretty shoes so how did I end up trying on what I can only describe as granny sandals yesterday...?
