Walking boots and some scruffy trainers, but did have some luck a couple of months back! ^_^ Walking along the beach collecting seaweed i saw a pair of trainers...went over to have a look and they were adidas and looked brand new, of course they wouldnt be my size :rolleyes: except they were! size 11.5 :okay: Tourists just breeze through and wont be back so didnt feel bad snaffling them. Googled the make and model they were over £100

You've got more shoes than me, two pairs of trainers, a pair of cycle shoes my old steelies from when I was working and a pair of slippers.

If this is a Pointless type Quiz, then:

1 pair trainers
1 pair walking boots
1 pair casual everyday shoes
1 pair dress shoes
1 pair slippers

Got my Statin blood results back to day with the GP comment of radical improvement - all metrics fine.

Liver test was all fine too.

Been on Statins 3 months now - recheck in one year.

Didn’t get out for a walk today as my leg still feels dead - will do more stretching exercises in the morning and if ok I will get out for a decent session.

Excellent. Time for a hot mug of lard to celebrate!
