New Shoes?

[lizziec]

Well that's what I call a successful day :D

I had to go into Uni for a tutorial and afterwards Ben (who had the day off :D) and I wandered the town, mostly because today was my day to get some new, sturdy shoes before I have to go back in to school on Wednesday. I found a pair in Sole Trader that were just perfect: a pair of Doc Martens that were suitable for school :D

Piccies of my new shoes are here. They are lovely - sturdy, comfortable, tough, while still looking really pretty (I think ;)). Unfortunately DM boots don't tend to go down to well at school :D Luckily fairly cheap too - £39, or £29 for the loafer style. I want more pairs like this in different colours now :D



Afterwards, on our way back from lunch at Nandos we ventured in to Mevthens were books are now reduced by 50% in their closing down sale (less than two weeks to go now) and I brought 1 book for "me" and 4 course books for "teacher me". I'm feeling very bouncy indeed. Like new books, especially ones as cool as some of these are :D

Just a pity they have to close really.

And Finally: Reason #4572 why you shouldn't buy your parents a scanner for Christmas (oh the ramblings in my year 4 school diary ;))

Seriously? I have no idea. I think they should be an acceptable form of footware - I've seen kids in stupider "legal" shoes. As for teachers - we're not allowed to wear them because it's not "professional"...or something :(

(short answer - probably arbitary power play :|)

I wore docs to school for years. I even wore black ones with hearts on them and was complimented upon my boots by senior staff who thought I'd added the hearts myself.

I was a horror to buy shoes for, most shoes, even good ones fell apart within 6 weeks and I couldn't wear cheap shoes. We then discovered docs and shoe-shopping hell never needed to be suffered through again. I also wore hiking boots to school for my final year as they were sturdy and held up to the level of walking.

I can't wear shoes anymore, it has to be boots or I end up going over my ankles. I'm hoping to replace my docs with another pair of docs, and a pair of boots which aren't garish looking for future 'work'.

I always thought most uniform rules, and 'professional' teacher clothing rules were a load of crap because they weren't enforcec consistently and no one was proud of school just because there was this uniform thing.
