No such statement as "No more shoes"   I am a shoeaholic and love buying shoes.

I kid you not a full wardrobe (3 shelves and the base of a triple wardrobe) plus 2 x 3 tier plastic shelves plus a hanging thing that hangs down the side of aforementioned wardrobe which holds 12 pairs on its own! Needless to say I get "are you wearing those trainer's again" !!!

It's easier to walk away in the UK as they are dearer but here all I get is "how much does that work out at?"  - now we all know  (she - me - he / seller) and I have to decide "do I want to look tight again - God forbid". We have even had a recent "clear out" so we can fit more in :-)

Ian I sympathise as a fellow husband of a shoeaholic. The photo looks a bit like our spare bedroom.
After putting 54 pairs of shoes, boots and sandals in the loft so the other 36 pairs were accessible I know.
Then last week a Debenhams order arrives with 6 pairs of sandals. >:(

Don't get me started on handbags. :o

Shoes and Handbags are a great hobby for us woman.  I have never counted my collections, but i do have regular clear outs to the Charity Shop.   I looked at it like this.... For me personally,  I do not smoke and never have, so I am saving around £10.00 I would spend on a packet of cigarettes ever day and using the money for my hobby.  So i benefit  and so does the Charity shop.

I personally love buying all clothes, shoes, handbags, make up, perfume etc.  The upside of being on your own is no man to tell me "you have enough" or "what another pair", or the old excuse a lot of women rely on "this old thing,( bag, shoes, dress) Ive had it ages" !!
