On the 9th day of Christmas blogging - Chookie's shooz

The Chook needed a new pair of riding boots so that we had enough room in them so that we could fit a pair of thermal insoles. She gets get very cold feet at her riding. Because she spends the whole day on a Saturday there it's in effect 7 hours outside and it has gotten extremely cold here. In fact, her lessons have been cancelled until it thaws a little - the hard ground is too dangerous for the kids and ponies alike. Anyways, her current pink ones are too small and I've been on the lookout for another pair with easy access front zips. We spied these purple ones on eBay and actually got them for a bargain price. Result!  

Then yesterday we were in town and found a sports shop that had bought the now defunct JJB Sports stock and she got some little lowtops for an even more bargain price.

And THEN we got little pumps for wearing with her v. cool Christmas party outfit. They were even MORE of a bargain. In fact, all 3 pair cost less than thirty quid. Woo-hoo!!

The night out was really lovely,  thank you all for asking. Great company, fabulous food and time spent with my man. What more could you ask for?

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
