Wednesday. Raining. Trainers literally falling apart. So I buy some hard shoes in a charity shop (Salvation Army) £3.99. Pretty tight pinching my toes walking back from Jobcentre.
Had to hold my attention very well- you don’t mess around with your feet. Morning comes. Tried the shoes on. Rather tight. So I had to walk to the shops wearing my tartan slipp...ers. I repeat- this is a TRUE story.
I have seen people visiting shops wearing slippers before- not so very often. I tried the trainers the first time- yesterday- in the library. I discarded my destroyed trainers there. Thursday. Slippers. Buy some trainers. Barnardo’s. Today. She said: “Keep the receipt.” I suggested they should be alright- my trainers SIZE NINE.
They- however- they themselves sometimes pinched. Tried PAIR TWO in library. No chance. Absolute cripplers. So I got my £5.99 back. THIS IS A TRUE STORY- this happened today: THURSDAY. I had to supply my address. Lady said there is a chair- the interested person tries the shoes. I was advised before purchasing. I agree.
Off to Naomi House- after trying two other charity shops. Saw a pair. Spanish. Sort of. Interesting. Tried them. Yes! Actually tried one! Felt good. Guess what? Size ELEVEN. Eleven! Yes. £5.
Gave the £5 the refunder presented. Nice pair. Velcro and buckle. Stylish. Tried the pair in the library. Walked around. Fine! So the trainers destroyed by the rain too small. Ha! Still have to find the receipt for the first pair.
