Yamyam

Good achievement yam yam, but don't forget I was away 2 weeks skiing, 5 weeks ocean sailing, 2 weeks catamaran sail instructor and 2 weeks holiday in Cuba during that one year, no internet during almost 3 months. In the meantime I calmed down so you all are going to catch me but I don't care, I get older and just enjoy my life in heels but have already written down so much about it people can find everything in the older threads. Instead of posting I now sit at a terrace enjoying good Belgian beers in my heels. Have fun with whatever you do, Luc

Hadn't forgotten, I was just hoping that no-one else would remember, so I could claim one achievement at least. Oh well, back to the drawing board (typing board?!?)

Nice one, Big D! Three miles for one's first outing is a heck of a long way, tho' - that's got to be quite brave. But well done on the day, anyway. Do Garage have a web site? I'm curious as to what your boots look like!

They are nice, micha. Sounds like they'd go well with your outfit too, so nice one there! Enjoy! And I'd wear similar ones for a night out, I must admit. But I don't think I'd go for them for daily wear (Oh, if only )

In January, last year:

Depends where you are, I'd have thought. I was at Freeport, near Stoke on Trent. Where were you?

As I've said elsewhere, they're not men's or women's, they're mine! And to be honest, I've never had to say that to anyone, where ever I've been. But, SH, if you are planning a long day in heels, make sure that you don't overdo it . I nearly killed myself once during an evening out, where I couldn't sit down due to a shortage of chairs, and thus spent about six hours on my feet in my London Wedges. The next day I was rather sore, but buzzed from the achievement.

Why, thank you all!

I see that highluc did his 750 posts in 1 year and 6 weeks, whilst yamyam took only 1 year and 4 weeks for the same amount.

Wow - faster than Highluc in heels! There's a major achievement for me!

squirrelheels will be there a bit quicker than that if he keeps on posting at this rate. Darn kids. Too much freetime.

Well, he has broadband. It's a natural advantage

The W3 validator is a good idea. I'd forgotten about that one. I said I'd do some design as I have about five different browser and operating system combinations here in my lab, so I should be able to make it look right on everything!

I don't visit when I'm at work, but I do get rather miffed if I can't catch up every night. So I'm nearly addicted, I suppose But then, this is a way cool place, crammed full of exciting people, and full of great conversations, so I guess there are worse things to be hooked on !

Woo hoo! I've done 750! All the way up to 5.5" courts, which I would *so* love to wear IRL! I'm so happy

I like my fridge catagorised logically, as opposed to being in alphabetical order! (Or as the Americans say: "alphabetised" - which isn't actually a word)

I just like mine full, which doesn't happen that often

And I don't do the ironing! So that's me outta that one! Do you find you have to adjust the height of the ironing board depending on what footwear you're wearing?!

I just stick the ironing board up to the maximum height and go for it. Sadly, mine was designed for people much shorter than I am, so it's actually quite uncomfortable to use it for long periods, heels or no, as I end up bending over all the time. Same with washing up at the sink.

Darn it all to heck.

Where exactly do you put the L plate?! On your back? Your tits? Your arse? Forehead?!

SH - you have tits? My goodness!

How do fat legs help with fitting more stuff into the boots?!

That's it! No more drinking and posting! I think I was trying to say that you can squeeze more things down your thigh-highs if you don't have bony legs. Probably. Oh, I don't know. Look, we're talking about smuggling pieces of toast into a theatre with an L-plate strapped to your tits and you're asking *me* to make sense

Towel

I'm not broadband-enhanced, but I could probably fit the redesign in, as long as someone with a shred of artistic talent (Hello, SH!) gives me a hand with the design. We'd probably have to post CDs around

Some of the autobahn network is really badly smashed up. I co-drove to Austria in January, and some of the German roads were quite bumpy, even in my brother's Audi limo. There didn't seem to be many people in heels in Germany and Austria, not that we stopped that much. But just about everyone we bumped into in Germany spoke good English. My brother and I decided that I'd do French and he'd do German. So I spent a couple of days wrestling with French. When we crossed the border into Germany, he just spoke English most of the time and got away with it grrr... And there are huge benefits to not living in London, such as no congestion charge, reasonable house prices, no problems with essential workers being squeezed out, and so on Oh, and low commute times. I managed to chafe off some people today because I live three miles away from my office, so my commute is about fifteen minutes. I know people who commute 4 hours a day!

Err... (blush!) err... "castle". Yeah, that's it, "castle". Honest.

Aren't you supposed to have a piece of toast for the scene where Frank shouts 'A toast?' I'd have thought that a bag would probably be taken off you straight up. But you could conceal a heck of a lot in a pair of thigh highs... Especially if you've got fat legs, like mine! When I go, I'm planning to ask a lot of questions of my mate Andy And I may go for the 'L'-plate option.

You should go shopping with FFox sometime. I've seen him blazing down a street in 4" heels with his mini camera to get a picture - and manage to get it, too. It's a talent. I have a few crap photos of floor tiles where I've missed completely - and I was sitting down on a bench How *does* he do it ?

I sometimes do the ironing in heels, but that's about it. I tend to leave most domestic stuff to the cleaner. She sometimes sorts the fridge into alphabetical order, and always arranges the remote controls in order of size and pointing due north, but I can forgive that for the best cleaning I've ever seen!

Nice one, Julietta & PolishUser2002! "The look" sounds good, but I hope you don't mind if I don't fit in with it... eek! I'm happy in my jeans and tee-shirts I'm actually going to be around Hatfield (well, close enough to pop in) on Thursday night - is that any good? Otherwise, like I always say, Sundays are good with me, so let's pick one of those during March. Oh, and Jay, I can probably give you a lift if you trust my driving

Laurie, I'm sure I'll enjoy reading anything you write, so write on! As for things to include - add some of your unique personality to every page, please! That'd make for an exciting read.

So you don't think that 13 is young?????!!!!!

It's one of the truths about mankind (and womankind, I think).

"Young" = about five years less than me.

"Old" = about ten years more than me.

And so I can quite see why a 13-year old doesn't think he's young, whilst us elderly dodders who quote our ages in hex can barely remember a time that long ago

I think there's a thread on this somewhere else on the board. As for me, I've no idea, it's always been with me. These days I get to wear them around my house, and sometimes out with friends or when I'm shopping in a strange town away from home. Every so often I go for a big 'push the envelope' thing, which is always a giggle. I'm dead jealous of the people that can wear their heels anytime, but then I wouldn't change the reason that I don't want to. And before anyone mentions that that doesn't make sense, I know. I'm happy not making sense sometimes

I forgive you Actually, the purple ones are nice... I might just invest in one!

As I get more confident, I'm loving people noticing. The more times people notice, the happier I am. All that I've ever been asked is 'why are you wearing those shoes?'. I reply 'because I want to' and that's that. The last time I went out with lots of mates, I ended up chatting to a lovely young lady in knee boots (of which I wrote some earlier...) She asked 'Why?' I said 'I like to' and that was that. We spent some time talking about shoes, but it basically wasn't an issue, and we spent the rest of the evening talking and drinking (apparently ) At the end of the evening, a friend said to me 'well, if you wanted to come out with it and let everyone know, you've done it with style!' And that was that - another wall kicked down, and more power to my elbow!
