Oh Boris ...

[blamebrampton]

I have long had a very disturbing thing for Boris Johnson. I rationalise it away by saying that he's a cyclist, so aside from his questionable use of his penis and occasionally nutty policies, he must be a decent chap underneath. [Poll #1480605]

I couldn't really find an answer that fit me. I think that repairing is something great if a) you love the item and b) if you're good at said repairing and c) if it's worth it. Sometimes it's better for the bank balance to buy a new pair of shoes on sale rather than repairing an old pair that pinches your heels or something. Then again, I have shoes and coats that I love and I'd definitely go and get repaired because I'll never be able to find the same pair again. I've been planning to get one of my shoes re-soled and re-heeled because they're the most comfortable pair of heels I've ever owned.

So yeah, I think my opinions on repairing depend on whether I like the item or not! I tend to buy a lot of clothes and shoes. I keep the ones I like and give to charity the ones I don't end up liking. :) Which reminds me, I ought to do a clean out of my closet.

Oh yes, shoes that hurt should be sent away asap! Have you ever tried a swap party with similarly sized friends? I have a few close pals who have similar feet/clothing sizes and colourings to mine and anything that seemed like a good idea at first and was quickly revealed not to be can often be passed along to one of them.

But the good ones? Yes, keep them going as long as possible!

I need to have Mr Brammers clean out, I have ONE drawer out of nine. It's not natural!
