Daughter's birthday soon. What to buy? Any suggestions? Have a sneaking suspicion of what she wants.

Very expensive cashmere socks?

[Tilly2]

nates? What's nates? No mates?

[Psybbo]

buttocks

[DaisyNonna]

Would not want to slip in them.

[Tilly2]

nates=buttocks. Why psybbo?

[Psybbo]

Skis, Daisy?

[Tilly2]

Is that a clue, Daisy? Would not want to slip in them?

Something less comfortable.

[DaisyNonna]

They need to be comfortable Tilly.

[Tilly2]

So, not a handbag, or shoes, or No.7 stuff, or skis, or slippers................?

[DaisyNonna]

Did not say not shoes.

[Tilly2]

You said shoes was 'close' when Psybbo said shoes. So it's some sort of shoes?

[Psybbo]

Trainers

[Tilly2]

Converse thingies?

[DaisyNonna]

Yes Tilly.

[DaisyNonna]

oops ! not trainers.

[Tilly2]

So, sort of shoes but not trainers, boots, Converse baseball boots, or slippers? Not socks either?

Ballet pumps?

[DaisyNonna]

Getting closer Tilly!

[Tilly2]

Gawd! So, it's a particular kind of footwear? You do need to give us a bit of a clue Daisy, for nates sake!

[DaisyNonna]

She did not want them as a child. Has been known to borrow her daughter's.
