I've needed new shoes for work for a couple of months now, and mine finally died completely this morning, with the entire heel unit splitting open. Hence a trip to Brighton today, as none of the Lewes shoe shops open on Sundays, and I'm working tomorrow!
It started raining while I was on the bus, and I was only wearing a T-shirt and leggings, though thankfully it had more or less stopped by the time I got off the bus. I looked in Barratt;s, Dolcis, Schu and Shoon, to no avail, then finally found a pair that would be suitable, and comfortable, in Evans. The bad news was that they cost £50, which I'll pay for certain *non work* shoes, but I like to spend less on my work ones. I went to Shoe Zone instead, and got a pair of black low heeled shoes, a bit like a cross between a court shoe and a ballet pump, for the bargain price of £7.99. Wore them straightaway, and they seem comfy enough. Then i went back to Evans and bought a pair of 3" heeled black shoes for £20, so now I can wear several pairs of my trousers that don't go with flat shoes :-)
I bought some bits and pieces in Poundland, including notebooks - always good! Some ice cold pain relief gel, photo paper for Mum, cleaning bits and bobs. Looked in Bon Marche, but they didn't have anything I really liked, and I'm *supposed* to be saving for New York anyway! Only two more pay packets, and I have nothing saved yet. Ooops..... I think I really *might* be living on beans/spaghetti/peanut butter/cheese/scrambled eggs on toast for the next three months, to economise a bit! LOL.
Waited ages in the rain for the bus, which is only hourly on Sundays, and which i was 35 minutes early for anyway, but then turned up 25 minutes late! Got back to Lewes and bought dinner in Waitrose, then came home. That's been the extent of my exciting day!
Oh, I did have an email from the National Lottery - seems one of the tickets I bought online for last night's Daily Play draw won me £5. That'll cancel the £5 scratchcard I splurged on earlier, but didn't win on, then ...!
Off to write more of the Meat Loaf concert report. It's threatening to be a very long one ....

Evans do nice shows, but I find they don't last long I still need to get some for my holidays!
I don't usually pay Evan's prices for shoes, but I really liked these ones, and they're not the sort I'll wear every day, so i won't be too hard on them! At £20 I couldn't resist them! I still need shoes for New York though, so I can break them in with time to spare!
