My New Favourite Person


is the shoe repair man. I literally took this basket of shoes to him this afternoon - 5 pairs in total. They all need to be resoled. He was so nice and kind and even gave me 11 dollars off because there were so many pairs. He is just a little local business ( not one of those shopping centre people) and well it is only costing me 100 dollar to get 5 pairs of shoes fixed. One pair was disgustingly in need of a polish and I said 'sorry about that" and he said "don't be, polishing is included!" I love him and everything he stands for.

This afternoon was all about jobs because then I headed over to the dry cleaner - I have a dress that I bought ages ago for a really good price ( do you see a theme? it is a different dress to this one) Anyway when I bought it it had a stain on it - again probably not a good idea - but it was 200 and I got it for 25 - so I figured at the time that I would be able to get the stain out. The dry cleaner is not holding high hopes, but oh well. What can you do?

I then went and picked up our tickets for the big holiday - woo hoo.

The Old Cobbler...the little elves that repair your shoes in the night whilst (yes, whilst) you are sleeping. How quaint.

I love how you can link a previous blog to your current one...I have no idea how to do that so please don't tell me - coz that could create a monster.
