Cinderella

I'm going to become a Godmother on Sunday. I had my outfit all ready, and assumed I had my shoes somewhere in storage here. However, this morning, I wondered... are they actually here? I couldn't remember seeing them, and thought they must be with my parents in France. As I drove off to work, Veggie Hubby started looking for them and sent me the following email at 9am.

" Sorry can't find your shoes. I will look more, but if we can't find them I suggest you either 1)quickly buy a pair in M&S 2) We buy one this evening, at Asda or the shoe store in High Street. 3) If you give me your shoe size, I can go there this afternoon and buy you a pair (white or pink). If they don't fit, I'll give them back on Monday. "

I found it quite funny that my husband offered to buy me shoes. The lady who sits next to me she said she would never let her husband buy her shoes, as he would probably buy her something really unsuitable like boots. I wasn't sure if VH could find me anything appropriate, so I went to the shops at lunchtime, literally racing around, to be there and back in an hour, trying to find some shoes that would match my dress, and also a Christening present (as I won't get much chance to shop tomorrow as I'll be travelling there). I came back to the office with only my lunch. I couldn't find any shoes that were remotely possible, except one pair of white shoes that weren't particularly attractive but a) they didn't have my size b) a very old lady was also looking at them and commented that they were very nice, which kind of put me off. I find it very difficult to find shoes in general, let alone under an hour, that is a challenge too far.

When I got home guess what? As soon as I got in the front door, Veggie Hubby noticed a carrier bag he hadn't noticed before, and they were slightly squahsed but in there :-) Thank goodness neither of us had bought a new pair. VH did buy two cards though, one for my goddaughter-to-be, and one for me, 'On your goddaughter's Christening day.' I don't know whether he could have chosen good shoes, but he certainly found great cards. I'm just lacking a Christening present now, but I'm not too worried about that, buying a photo frame/album isn't as difficult as buying shoes.

Here are the shoes in question... I am slightly embarrassed the 'George' logo is visable, but I like sandles that have a strap around my ankle, or else they just feel like they will fall off.


P.S. This post demonstrates that I am very disorganised and last minute , and also that my flat is on the messy side...
P.P.S. I am really looking forward to the Christening and becoming a godmother. The weather is so hot these days, it will be perfect.
P.P.P.S. This post is for you, Shop Girl*
