Has anyone tried these cheapo Mysasi London tights off ebay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extra-Lar...Domain_3&var=430413445395&hash=item1e8b18d4a3

Yes, yes! Am wearing some cobalt blue ones now! (For the hamlet game). I don't have v long legs, my problem is thigh girth - and I have tried so many specialist fat bird tights (so not just XL) which go nowhere near. These are great!

They also have the three-seam construction that Evans tights do, to accommodate the arse - however, unlike my Evans tights, they don't puddle into wrinkles around my feet - so they may not be long enough for you. Worth a try for sure, and decent quality.

Actually, on closer inspection, they don't do the really thick ones (which is what I want) in my size, so I'll have to wait till I get paid and try some Pamela Mann ones.

All the owners of the clarks brogues, do you wear them without socks/tights? I'm worried about rubbing.

yes i want to knwo this too - shoe liners don't really work for me... I suppose there are knee high tights.. I want to wear them with pencil trousers which stop at around the ankle...

 

[Biddlybee]

Fine with socks or tights when I've worn them, but my feet ain't your feet.

do you mean "without socks or tights"?

 

[Biddlybee]

Yep sorry without, they were fine for me, but then I don't walk loads

But depends how they fit on your feet I guess.

I might give it a try with some emergency socks in my bag...

New boots! I went into TKMax to buy my friend a birthday present and came out with some DMs for £40! I never usually do well at TKMax but maybe having massive feet is an advantage - I doubt these would have still been there waiting for me if I was a size 6.

 

[gaijingirl]

I wore my new Clarks brogues to work yesterday (trying to dress smarter for work) and twice sort of tripped going upstairs - i think because they're a bit long for me (although width is perfect). I felt something go in my back and now I can't hardly walk at all. So much pain. It's not bloody fair - they're the most sensible shoes on the planet and I'm still injured. I also cricked my neck on the same side over the weekend and my left foot it still dodgy and I have the start of a cold. I am pretty miserable and look like Quasimodo.

 

[Oula]

Oh no, gaijingirl how upsetting to be attacked by your new shoes. I'm also very achy, partly due to too much dancing in my old boots which is why I thought new ones were a good idea.

 

[Greebo]

Speedy recovery gaijingirl, that really was an undeserved accident.

 

[cesare]

Ouch gaijingirl Hope you get better soon.

 

[Manter]

Eek! gaijingirl, hope you are better soon

So..... I am eying up a handbag on eBay. It's half the price of a new one, has good photos so I can see condition, has a photo of that little card thing they give you to prove the bag is real..... What could go wrong? What should I be looking out for?

 

[Looby]

I'm not sure you can do much more apart from have a good look at the sellers feedback and other items. It'll be clear if they're having a sort out or are selling loads of bags/other luxury goods. I'd also see what the bag is selling for as if it's too cheap, that would make me suspicious.
If it is dodgy or not as described, eBay are really good with disputes IME. I've had to open a case for fake concealer, I got a refund and the seller was kicked off I think. Clearly I need to see the bag now. [emoji6]

Star Wars Vans for the 7 year old, reduced from £33 to £18

also a t-shirt with butterfly print all over it for 3 quid from Primark for me. And some school uniform shorts for the boys, which were unreasonably hard to find (why would anyone want to buy school uniform shorts at the start of the summer term, after all)

edit oh also this Jasper Conran jacket for the 9 year old, again heavily reduced

Comfiest shoes I've ever had, these. I foresee mile after blister-free mile of countryside being tramped this Summer. I love Meindl stuff. Very pricey but worth it.

The black Asos shoes that I posted up thread arrived and didn't fit so they've been sent back and replaced by these from Office

I like that bag, but there are a lot of very good quality fakes of it here in China; it's one of the most copied bags online here ime. So I'd be circumspect in my purchase of it.

Have Franklin Covey got any? I got a lovely laptop sized handbag from them back in the day

looking at 6-12 weeks of recovery - back for my 2nd round of physio today...

I'm gong to try and take the shoes back. I wore them for a whole day but not outdoors - they broke my heart, they can't stay.

I a pair of Clarks sandals delivered too but they're also going back.. my stupid wide feet - they are even wide fit and still don't fit.

I will go to Duo I suppose when/if I get a chance.
