High Heels + Weak Ankle Update

[chrissa1]

Well, it was more or less a disaster. The wedding was in a village and everyone was mini cabbed there but I, being alone took my car. The parking was in a field in front of the church and I needed help from one of the carparkers to get me over the grass.
When I got on to hard ground, I hadn't practiced enough and found I had to tighten the straps by the side of the road. So there was me, large hat on, clutching my bag and the nearby wall trying to "elegantly" carry this out.
When we came out of the church it was pouring and so my return trip back over the field again was aided and I kept getting stuck in the soft ground.
I got to the Reception and luckily there was a man who parked my car for me but after that it was flat heels for the rest of the time.

Added to that, I had forgotten my lipstick and under my hat, old friends didn't recognise me until I told them who I was and lifted it up slightly. I've always had my husband with me before.
So, all in all it was a bit stressful and strange without him but it was a lovely wedding and the bride looked beautiful.

[Quassia]

^ lol! I 'felt' odd like something was missing .. never leave home without your lippy!

[chrissa1]

I put it down to using a different handbag.

[Quassia]

It could have been worse chrissa ... you could still be stuck there in the mud with your heels!! Will you be wearing them again?

[askyourgran]

You have my sympathy chrissa. I went to my neice's christening on my own, the OH had other things to do. I got there ok, with some new high heels on, and a new jacket and skirt, but I felt like a fish out of water without him. The shoes killed me and I took every opportunity to lean on something or sit down. The baby niece was sick on my jacket, and I'd a job getting the shoes back on to go home in. I think I've strained my knee.

[chrissa1]

Never!! And the awful thing is that I borrowed them from my daughter and I still haven't got them out of her car to see the damage!!!

You will wear those Jimmy Choo's at your stage in life, Chrissa......really, what are we going to do with you?

[Quassia]

Gran, so what really happened was you had too much to drink .. leant on anything that could keep you upright ... flung your shoes across the floor when you heard the Lambada (sp)? .. and fell on your knees? ... right?
