Sexy Boots

Well there was a time when I would lust after soft leather, well sculpted heels and sexy buckles.

Now I lust after wellies. I don't want to get them wet or dirty, they are so pretty. Maybe I will go buy some cheap ones from the garden centre for wet weather.

Sums up the day when the highlight was the arrival of some wellington boots. The snow was all washed away by this morning so not even the opportunity for an Arctic winter landscape.

Then I have spent most of the day on the phone to HM Revenue and Customs. Do you know that if they ring you with a query, and they don't ring the right number - say because the business has several different sites - they are not allowed to ring again that day on the correct number - you have to call them back? And wait for 20 minutes on hold. Before getting through to someone who hasn't a clue what they rang you for in the first place. This happened to me 3 times today. And when you get through, they can only deal with one query at a time, for a second, you have to call back. And wait for 20 minutes on hold etc etc. Sigh.

Thank you for all the good wishes for the chocolate stealing mutt - no ill effects, not even the pink wrappers.....
