My poor feet

Just been catching up on all the posts. Don't you all talk a lot It's taken me nearly an hour reading them all I decided to go to Hobbicraft in Reading on the bus this morning (I wanted to use my bus pass for the first time) and very stupidly put on some shoes that are quite new. I have now got huge blisters on both heels, and I mean huge, all the way round. In fact I was very tempted to walk barefoot home from the bus stop! Not only that although I did do a bit of retail therapy there, I thought it was quite disappointing and didn't get what I had specifically gone for. Never mind it gives me an excuse to go shopping again - when I can get some shoes on

Oh dear
You poor thing
There's nothing nicer than a good old soak for the feet when they get in that state.
I have one of those foot spas and I love nothing better than soaking my feet in it
Nit that I get blisters on my feet these days but it just seems the ultimate luxury thing to do

sounds like its time to put your feet up -literally! hope your trip wasn't too disappointing at least you saved on bus fare.

Sorry to hear about your sore feet. I hope they feel better soon. At least you have an excuse to go shopping again whoo hoo

I bought a pair of crocs and they are great for your feet
my feet used to burn when i finished work now they are great

I did put my feet up this afternoon - stretched out on sofa to watch QVC and rest my tootsies, and guess what - I fell asleep!! Flip flops for me tomorrow- hope it doesn't rain.

Don't you just hate the way your feet slide about in wet flip flops I've twisted my ankle in the past wearing wet flip flops

Thanks for that Pepi Not sure I want blisters and a twisted ankle. Maybe I'd better stay in and make some cards

I took all the skin off my toes one time with flip flops was very sore

I have a huge gap between my big toe and the rest so built for flip-flops (remember the Aussie thongs!) but prefer my crocs if its wet -much safer and so light

Snappy footwear then
Often wondered what they were like to wear
My sister swears by Fly Flots and wears them all the time
I sent for a pair once but my feet are so darned swollen that they wouldn't fit

Any excuse to stay in and make cards is a good one.
I do hope your feet are feeling better,
take care and look after yourself

Crocs may not be the height of fashion but they are wide, light on your feet, scrubbableand come in lots of yummy colours - mine are mauve and I want a natural pair

I thought the crocs teeth would hurt your feet more

not when they're rubber - well soft plastic really

I haven't treated myself to a pair of crocs yet. Infact I can't even remember when I bought my last pair of shoes or trainers.
I have such narrow feet that I find it hard to find anything that fits well

crocs may be too wide then - shame

Yes I thought that too, when I have looked at them on people I have thought they look too wide for me.
Oh well

Old kipper feet here has no problems!

don't make me laugh, I need to spend a penny
What with crocs and kippers, I just can't take much more

What is it with me and 'feet' - remember all the trouble I had in Australia last year with my 'thongs'

Oh yes,
def need to go and spend a penny now Jane

I'm a Fly flot girl, to be honest I couldn't walk as far as I do without them as they cushion all the little joints in my feet which otherwise would hurt and force me to sit down after a very short distance. Crocs are no good for me either as when the Fibro is being good my feet are narrow, but when its playing up they are little fat things he he Thin or fat they always have painted toenails he he When I can't reach them Pete does it for me when he does my weekly foot pedicure and massage ..... aren't I a spoilt little girl he he

Good for you Jen. Your Pete is a good man.
How are your knees doing?

They are starting to deteriorate but I can't have my next injection until the end of Aug. I'm trying to be sensible in the meantime so that I'm not back in the old wheelie this summer. This darned weather doesn't help though as its making the Fibro flare up which doesn't help the osteoarthritis part etc etc he he. Never mind, life is grand he he
