Paul, even I don't have 55 pairs of shoes!!! lol However, I do not have enough hanging space in my wardrobe and have suggested to Chris that he clears out some of the clothes which no longer fit him so that I can have that space in his wardrobe. Perfectly reasonable request I thought but can't repeat his answer here, although it would qualify him for the Grumpy Old Men thread. Fred - teapot essential for a decent cup of tea. And Paul, bags in a cup just won't do. Daisy

Mind you I'm the one paying for them lol plus two kids. I have to admit if I had the money then I'd probably own a lot more.

My daughter completely emptied her room, when she moved out ... and she only took clothes with her !!! Unfortunately, I am very *practical* and independent. But hey, I'm happy and that's what counts ! Everyone is different ! I'm just not a 'fussy female' but wouldn't put other ladies down ! That's it, I'm not a 'lady' I'm a woman ! Elaine ;-)

I wouldn't say *weird* Paul (she says shouting over the music !) Just some woman have better things to do than go shopping.... and therefore dress accordingly ! Even when I go to get the shopping, I go in Jeans and T Shirt .... it's not a fashion parade ... it's a chore ! Elaine ;-) I remember one friend dashed upstairs to change, before she took her little one to hospital for stitches, after a tumble ... I was gobsmacked !

At last counts Sharon had 47 pairs of shoes and abnout 8 pairs of boots, she's bought at least 4 pairs of shoes since...

I'm not one for clothes Paul ..... .Eeeek, didn't mean that the way it sounds !! I'm not into fashion ... AT ALL ! Jeans and T Shirts with trainers or Boots. You don't catch me shopping with the girls.!! I know some men who spend hours in clothes/shoe shops ... but when they get to the chemist - well, that's it, I'm out of there - haven't got all day !! Elaine ;-) Have to admit, that if I know in advance that I'm going somewhere, I do tend to put makeup on and brush my hair !!! :-))) Not often nowadays ! People take me as they find me or not at all !

I'll retreat quietly ........... am going to turn music up full blast ........

Paul Report 28 Jun 2006 11:39

thats because women in general own about 10 times as many pairs of shoes than men, so it does make sense really.

Paul

Paul Report 28 Jun 2006 11:38

Elaine, Thats the best offer I've had in ages lol I think what this proves is that women just moan more than men... (which we all knew anyway) Paul x
