One small step in size 9 slingbacks

    First of all, sorry have been very erratic and less than reliable (especially on messages) about posting on this fab site.

    Well I did yesterday what was a huge step for me. Out in public as Carol. Things yesterday dropped into place. Could not get a ticket for my team yesterday (Luton Town were away at Cambridge for a 3-1 win!) and after weightwatchers weigh in along with Tesco neither myslelf nor my wife felt like going out.

    After a pretty crappy week I needed to get out for an hour or 2. Not sure what happenned but I was decisive (miracle) stuck heels, short sleeved blouse etc into a rucksack. Stopped in a layby - I know I must stop loitering in them! - to change and apply make up and accidentally gave a lorry driver a  flash. He didn't

    As I said, kept my outfit very simple wearing dark jeans, black 2 inch heeled slingbacks with a white short sleeved blouse. Incidentally, wore tights and nice undies under my jeans. Scared to bloody death at first but after giving myself a good talking too, I felt so wonderfully alive. You know what, nobody batted an eyelid. John Lewis, Costa Coffee and Ann Summers the last one being just for batteries - honest! Indeed, the only comment was in Ann Summers where the girls said I looked wonderful but said I should have worn a skirt because I of my long legs. Can handle that!

    I know it wasn't for long and when I can 'arrange' to go out again but, I FELT ALIVE!!!

    Am now going mad though. Pinks have their big day out from 11am till 6.30pm next saturday so - at moment - look out Pinks, Carol could be out again!

    Love and great lippy to all xxxxxxxxxx

  • Devon Johnson Congratulations Carol. As the proverb goes, "Every great journey begins with that first step (even if it is in 2" heels)" - I've added the last bit myself :-). Nothing will ever be the same again for you I'm afraid. I clearly remember my...  more
  • Carol Tights Thank you Devon, am sure there will be lots of ups and downs but will keep everybody updated. So much admiration for ladies like yourself and Pauline, you are both wonderful role models.
