The Mock Turtle

Yes, sadly I didn’t see a photo. I thought Emma was just doing an (unsurprising) u-turn. But if she did order them and they arrived, a photo is definitely in order!

This is like a finely tuned thriller.

Day 26 :toolbelt:?

It absolutely fucking was!

There was no photographic evidence! They looked like boats on my feet. Massive bright sparkling white boats with a not really very nice strawberry pattern. They wouldn’t have gone with anything else I own! I can’t stop laughing about it. I was so sure they would be amazing

I can't believe you ordered them!

Saying that, I have ordered myself a pair (plain black & on offer) for the garden. And I am eyeing these up.

Ooh, those are nice, skips!

Were you thinking, "I'll show them!"?

Poor emma. It is the least surprising news ever though.

Have you ever seen Crocs before?!

Love those, Skips! Anything with a rainbow in.

Esp white ones with strawberrys

I love those trainers, too, Skips. Gorgeous.

I'm really allured to these, but showed my sister and she said they might be gorgeous and they might just be super-expensive pyjama bottoms. I was kind of picturing wearing them with sandals or converse-style pumps. Suspect I might need to order them to see. Also, I've never ordered from Sweaty Bettuy, do you know if they come up big/small/normal generally? Would welcome any opinions!

Generally true to size, I think. Make sure you get a money off code too, if you can. I like them!

I think you can refer people too, but that offer isn’t as good as the newsletter sign up offer.

I'm not a fan, but what do I know? It reminds me that I've been looking at SB's leggings but balking at the price. I need to look for a code!

They'd look good on some people (those people wouldn't be me), those. I find SB sizing quite true.

Lazz, I only buy things from them when they do 20 % off their 50% sale . Even then I'm not convinced it's worth it (I've got one pair that definitely were but the others could be from anywhere, to be honest).

That's my fear - for the price, I expect to look like a supermodel in them. If that's not the case, I may as well remain a basic bitch in standard sportswear from M&S.

The pair I rate are the zero gravity bum sculpting* variety, they're worth the £40 or whatever it was I ended up paying. But the others- I've got Nike and Matalan (that fine purveyor of sports wear) leggings I rate more.

*there is plenty to sculpt with

The bum sculpting ones are good, but I now much prefer the prints at Tikiboo. I usually buy Sweaty Betty in the sale too, or eBay often has decent ones.

Bum-sculpting, check. Never heard of Tikiboo, will have a look. When you mention eBay, Pip, do you mean a SB outlet on there or something else? Ta, sportswear fans!
