Women & shoes - why?
I'm a woman - and I buy too many shoes - and I can't seem to part with many.
Why is it?
Today - saw a shoe shop closing down - got £150 worth of leather boots for £30. Bargain! I'll wear them loads through the winter - but if I hadn't seen them I wouldn't have gone looking for some (if that makes sense!)
Would a bloke walk past a bargain like that?

I have a very soft spot for bargains, and have a bit of a shopping addiction, too. Although I have calmed down in recent years, my wardrobe is full of stuff I will never wear, but can't bring myself to eBay it (most items are worn once and quite expensive)
If I see a nice pair of shoes, or trainers, that I like, I will buy them to put with the other three dozen pairs, and get round to wearing them at somepoint!
Last year I bought a new pair of trainers that I hadn't seen anywhere before, or since, and as they were so comfy, I ordered four more identical pairs, two of which are still in the box.......

TBH she was quite tight sometimes and would look around the designer dress agencies in Harrogate before splashing out. She used to tell me she'd saved 300 quid on this pair of shoes by buying them there!!! They were still 300 quid though!! Hence EX.
