I went to try and find some sandals in our local shoe shop, they had loads, just none in my size, what made it worse was that the shop assistant told me "most" women don't wear a size 8 and certainly not open sandals. She showed me the few pairs they did have which looked like refugees from a Mar-a-Largo pool party, were white and had heels, which I don't want.

I feel so upset, it's brought back all the old messages about being to big to be a proper girl, I've been hearing this message for 50 years, half a centrury of being told I'm to big and then people wonder why women my size end up with eating disorders.

Then I went to the bank to send my daughter in law some money for her birthday only to be told banks don't do cash transfers anymore! WTF?

Shoe zone is really good as I'm size 4 or 5.

Also I try on loads of shoes and the staff know there stock.

Plus the shop do offers on shoes and slippers.

I can withdraw any amount of money from the post office and deposit cash/cheques. Also they know me. Unfortunately it's closed on Saturdays which is a shame. I could trek to the next one in another area. Once I did that walking in the blazing sun as had to send documents.
