One day she did it to a woman trying on jesus boots (surely you remember those). The poor woman turned round and said 'These are all I can wear, they're size 10'. My Mother gave me cigarettes to stop growing and I made it to 5ft 10 and size 7 feet - phew!<BR/>There are loads of shops that go up to your size now btw, bon chance!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030837390014068283.post-83291085350571046412009-02-25T15:25:00.000+00:002009-02-25T15:25:00.000+00:00God.

Girls who classify themselves as 'tiny' make me want to put on my ugliest size 9 shoes and jump up and down on them.<BR/><BR/>Actually, it brings to mind a moment at University (slightly unrelated but I'll tell you anyway). There was a group of us in the pub and I announced I was going to go home. It was late and everyone looked up and said 'oh, ok. Bye!' etc etc. I got caught up talking to someone at the door and another girl who definitely fell in the 'I'm Tiny' category got up and also said she was going home. Immediately all the boys stood up and said that she couldn't possibly go home on her own and that somebody must accompany her. <BR/><BR/>I know that physically she is small therefore more vulnerable but it still p****es me off to this day. I'd love to have had that same care shown to me but because I'm tall with big feet nobody bothers...<BR/><BR/>OH well, no point sobbing over spilt and curdled milk. There are some things I can never achieve and being tiny is one of them.Welsh Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892102110682697495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030837390014068283.post-60255982248503282392009-02-25T15:13:00.000+00:002009-02-25T15:13:00.000+00:00that is sad, WG.

And don't you just hate people who think they're all cute and special and sweet and "tiny" just because they're 5.2" or something. It 's only a few inches different forgodssake!

I bought a pair of shoes last year bright red, a little too big for me...and I LOVE them. Because they are slightly off. and I make a go of them anyway...<BR/>I added you to my reader!

Plus, these were in the days when they didn't make any big women's shoes at all. For the longest time she would just wear mens shoes. She would dream of beautiful shoes. She was always really happy that I had normal feet and would often point this out as a great blessing when I was a gangling, hormonal teenager who hated how I looked.<BR/><BR/>I hope you find shoes that are lovely,comfortable and fabulous tomorrow.<BR/>xxkatyboo1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00182125401184061843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030837390014068283.post-11515577390370680152009-02-19T16:49:00.000+00:002009-02-19T16:49:00.000+00:00I feel for you, I really do.

I'm 48 now, but when I was a teenager and took a size 7 it was very difficult to find shoes to fit because often shoe shops only stocked up to a size 6. My mum would drag me from shop to shop and only go to the doorway then shout "what size do you go up to?" and we only went in the ones with size 7s. Like you, I would feel obliged to get the only pair they had just because they fit me.<BR/><BR/>I hope you find something you like in your size.

And shoes, even sensible flat ones, which feel comfortable are almost impossible to find. I love summer, because I can live in flip flop type things, some of which are even pretty. I do not own a pair of high heels. I could not walk in them, and have NEVER found a pair which are comfortable enough to wear. I feel your pain!justmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768035027235782814noreply@blogger.com
