How about a Subject of the Week section.

[Gromit]

A guest subject which changes every week. If any prove to be very popular, they might get their own section.

You could start with:

SOTW: Cheese

[China Doll]

I had loads of brie and pickled onions last night as a starter. The sweet, silverskin ones.

My housemate finally left on her travels though and I had the great satisfaction of slinging out her prumella (can't remember what it's called) squeezy thing! I didn't think thye even still made that! Repulsive.

Don't let Octavius in to discussions about cheese though as he goes off on one about cheddar and branston and that's just tacky. (Well it's quite tasty but it's not brie and pickled onion though).

I tried some of that cheese with apricot in the other day too. I'm not a fan.

Why do wotsits not really taste of cheese though?

Oh don't start shaneystar on cheese, she loves the stuff, you'll never get rid of her.

The next SOTW is - Unsensible Shoes

[China Doll]

Oh God Yes!!

Well on Sunday I brought these gold slips ons which were just gorgeous and totally sensible as actually I needed a pair of flat shoes for going to tescos in and stuff like that. Plus they went really well with leggings and some of my dressier outfits which mean that they could make them look a bit more casual so I could wear them the dressier outfits to the star and the club as the gold shoes would dress them down. Now I know what you�re thinking but actually the gold goes with everything, it really does. The only impractical thing I can really think of is that it�s a bit cold outside and so maybe my feet might get gold but hey, it was either that or trainers and I don�t really do trainers.

Anyway, so while I was getting the gold slip ons I saw these fabulous silver heels which actually had the oppersite effect of the gold slip ons as they would have made some of my more casual outfits look a little more dressy so on those nights I don�t feel like dressing up, as long as I brush my hair and put some slap on I could still go out quite casusally. They were also amazingly comfortable which I was surprised about as the heel looked quite thin and high but then I shouldn�t really have been surprised as New Look shoes are often more comfortable than they look. In fact they were so comfy that I�ve considered seeing if they�re in black so I can get a pair for work but then that means buying two pairs as I really want them in silver too so I�m really not sure what to do for the best you know� it�s a conumdrum. But my FMB�s are hurting my neck a bit and it�s cold out so they�re quite warm to wear to work but then I don�t wan to hurt my neck so maybe I should just get both pairs? I dunno, what do you think?

Anyway so now I need some FMB�s as I just said but I�m nore sure of the way forwards here. See I think I need a black and a brown pair but then I did get by the year before last with just a brown pair. Although I have a black pair now but I mainly wear them to work. And should I get a flat pair? A cow girl pair? A fun pair? I don�t what to do �. Also, I�ve seen some very good fun coloured pairs of FMB�s. I think I�m going to go with brown with a heel but I�m not 100% on it. I could be swayed.

But my absolute best buy this month has been a dark red (claret if you will) pair of wedge heels. The wedge is in like a dark wood colour and there are studs on the shoes. The wedge is really high but as it�s a wedge it�s sensible so that�s ok. Plus they were reduced from �200 to �40 so they were a bargain!

In fact, all my shoes of recent have been sensible in their own way! There was only one pair recently that I liked that I wasn�t sure about. They were dark red, open toed sandals with a stiletto heel but I have to be honest and say that when I stood up in them even I couldn�t walk in them and that takes some doing! So I didn�t buy them but now I think I sort of should have because they could be good for horizontal positions but then I�m not doing that either at the moment so perhaps that wouldn�t be a sensible buy�. I�ll have to think about that.

These are my very favourite pair but I don't get to wear them very often

I need to buy a yellow top to go with them I think. But aren't they great?! I love them!

Gromit - Would you like to change the subject cause I can do this for quite literally hours!

[Gromit]

No, this is very educational.

[China Doll]

What's it teaching you?

[Gromit]

That you are the Queen of Shoes.

[Katie~77]

[dot.hawkes]

I have been discussing shoes all day can we change the subject please? How's about holidays eh?

[Gromit]

3 stars all round - specially to CD who has never more so earned them.

[Ms D Meaner]

Sod em all, yes I do think it has that crude and childish undertone that only your mother could forgive. Brilliant isn't it?

[jno]

goodness, China, did you ever get invited onto Just A Minute? No hesitation, deviation, not much repetition either. You are truly the Imelda of the West.

[jno]
