I don't begrudge my wife buying or owning the impossible to count amount of shoes that she has or had. She is a high school teacher who works very hard and deserves such luxuries.redblood:
Details man, I need detail…….
What type of shoes were they?
Approx cost?
Burst out laughing at you calling your good lady wife ‘Imelda Marcos mk2’. So funny.
Intrigued now.
How many pairs of shoes/boots have you indulged your wife in?
Total she possesses atm?
Before I go any further, I’d just like to congratulate you both on 50 years Mr & Mrs redblood!
That’s wonderful.
Righteo, back on topic now. Well our lil side topic anyway. Oooopsy!
Imelda: I’m dreadful for buying shoes too.
Plus my other buying fetishes are: boots, handbags & purses!
I dunno who the equiv of Imelda is for excessive handbag & purse purchases tho. Do yous have any ideas?
I consider myself to be very lucky and fortunate that I have a lovely partner who indulges my fetishes/addictions.
Sometimes immediately, sometimes a lil time down the line. See below……..
I VERY OCCASIONLY tell a lil white lie regarding my shoe, boot, handbag & purse purchases.
Which is sneaking them into the house and then days, weeks or months later when he MAY notice me wearing/carrying them, I tell him I’ve had them for absolutely ages!
Saying “Remember when I went to xxxxx (town/shops) last xxxxx (week/month) with the girls, well I……. blah de blah de blah.”
Now you’ve already seen on this thread, that I can rattle for England yeah well, I think he then starts switching off to my story and I notice a glazed expression appearing on his fizzog.
Although sometimes I think he actually knows the truth but happily/mischievously/cheekily plays along. Bless him.
Who’s kidding who here?! Doh!
Actually, to be fair, he does very kindly indulge me MOST of the time. When he asks what I’ve bought today and I tell him I bought a new handbag. The resigned shaking of his head is accompanied by laughing and he says “Like you really needed another handbag didn’t ya!”
My response is “yeah I do need another handbag cos I haven’t got one in this particular shade of xxxxx (colour) or this style, this shape, this brand/designer etc etc”.
Apologies for another long un from me on here Scroll down right past if doesn’t interest yous. Ta muchly. Sorry to natarlie too.
Especially as it’s nowt to do with Krakow really.Oooopsy!

Her summer holidays here in Oz are Dec/ Jan and so our many trips to Europe have always been winter trips. Now many people are happy to come home with a memento or two, you know
like a fridge magnet or similar. Oh no, not my wife, it's shoes, shoes and even more shoes.
It hadn't been such a problem for me lugging them all back to Oz as we had only been away for a month. ( I mean how many pairs of shoes can a girl buy in a month?) it was only a matter of buying another bag or two or one very large one.
The problem arose when we decided not to have kids and spend our hard earned travelling the world for the rest of our lives. In 1990, 95 and 2001 we took a year off work in each of those years
to do just that. We bought a campervan and set off and went to many countries and picked up many pairs of shoes along the way. No problem, we had enough room under the back seat to house
them all. But, the problem arose when we went back to England to sell the campervan and were planning to spend the last month of the holiday in Thailand and it was her decision that I didn't need
all my winter clothes anymore and that I should chuck them and fill my backpack with her shoes.
This is what upsets me about all these shoes, as I am now having to arrive in Bangkok with a fully laden backpack and yet have nothing of my own except a sarong, a couple of pairs of undies and a pair of speedos.
( Now that's a sight to behold, me in a pair of speedos. That's enough for any self respecting female to avoid visiting Thailand. It certainly wouldn't be a good photo on a travel brochure )
Other than the clothes that I'm wearing.
Still, this is what husbands and partners do hey ?
Stay safe best wishes from Oz and well done ( lucky sods, 92 mins) to your beloved DCFC
