Can relate to the shoe story! Went for a holiday to Brazil to see my sister and while I was there I was overcome with the shoe buying gene (passed down to me from my mother) and bought 11 pairs of shoes! Had to purchase a new case in order to bring them all home. The look on my DH's face when I opened the case was priceless. He still talks about the Brazillian shoe extravaganza and the holiday was 6 years ago.
PS bought another 2 pairs in the first week after I got home as there were some great sales on!! Didn't bother to mentions those to my hubby cos I thought he may go into cardiac arrest!!!!!!
