I've told him we'd help him pay for a more expensive pair, but he wants to be independent. Besides, he doesn't believe me when I tell him he needs to wear good fitting shoes now, or he'll pay for it in his latter years. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Still, I'd happily do it for him, especially seeing I've just undergone back to back foot surgeries, and don't want him to suffer the same. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I couldn't agree with you more about taking care of your feet and wearing the best shoes you can afford. I haven't had to have surgery but I do suffer with bunions from going bare foot and not wearing good shoes when I was younger. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Diana Sinclair Posts: 10119 Joined: 3rd Apr 2008 Location: USA	Posted at 18:54 on 29th March 2009 I had no idea, Sue! I don't recall that my mother had bunions, but perhaps someone on her side of the family did. Genetics is fascinating isn't it? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I take it you lot (in England) went on daylight savings time this past weekend?!? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I thought that was some made up store in Cornwall, because the only time I'd ever heard of it was when Denzil mentioned it. lol Wonder where he's got to......

My Mom turned all the clocks backwards so my Stepdad had to spend more time putting them forward 2 hours! Makro is a big cash and carry and you have to have a pass to go there (a bit of a self employment perk!) - we have one in Halesowen and there is one in Bristol.
