Your Questions About Guess Shoes On Sale

Sharon asks…

Should i buy those Addidas Superstars in the sale?

1) No. Because...... I already have 7 pairs of trainers, one pair which includes K-Swiss that i have only worn once and look very similar to the aforementioned Addidas Superstars. I cannot really afford to be spending money at the moment. I wouldn't buy them if they were full price so i'm really just buying them becuase they are a bargain. I'm not 100% sure if i even like them. I do not have enough room for all my shoes and my husband will complain about me stealing even more of his space in the cupboard. OR 2) Yes. Because......... They are reduced from £59.99 to £30.00 and that's a good price for a pair of Superstars. Hmmmm... that's the only reason i can think of so i guess i've answered my own question here. If i do buy them, can anyone give me some advice on justifying the purchase to myself? Thank you! :-) x

Linda asks…

What Do You Think Of My Story......So Far?

Well, I'm trying to write a novel and I was wondering what people thought of it so far. I would like your honest opinion please... here it is: I look out the window. The wind seems to throw it's self at the house. I jump and stumble back into my dresser as something slams against my window. A branch had been lunged at my window by that violent wind. I breathe a sigh of relief, and put a hand over my chest to ease my racing heart. I turn around and glance at myself in the mirror. My chubby cheeks are flushed bright red, almost matching the color of my red frizzy hair that seems to stand on end. It's like I had seen a ghost. But no all I had seen was my reflection, which is just as frightening. To me any way. I go downstairs and find my mum in the kitchen. "What are you doing up so early?" I ask her, it was twelve, so I guess you couldn't really call it early but on weekends and holiday's mum and I stay in bed almost all day. "I think I could ask you the same thing," she looks at me questionably. "I was going to meet my friends at the park but I think we're just going to go to the shops. I mean have you seen what it's like outside." "Good point, ok you can go out," "Great, thanks mum" I grab my coat. "Wait aren't you going to have breakfast?" "Nah, I think I'll have something to eat at a café." "Okay then, I'll see you later." I shove on my coat and run out the door. I was already five minutes late. Its times like this that I wish I had a phone. Then again, I always wish that I had a phone, but mum was never the biggest fan of kids having phones. Luckily the park is just a few blocks away from my house. It's not the kind of park that you would imagine. It just has two swings and a rusty round about. There are bushes and trees but mostly it's just over grown grass. I see Lizzie and Jack waving to me. They're twins and do almost everything together. "You're here," they say in unison. "Yes, I'm here. Where's Allison?" I ask, "You know what she's like, she is always late," states Lizzie. "Yeah, she probably went into a shoe store because there was a sale," agrees Jack. Just then Allison walks over to us with a paper bag in her perfectly manicured hands. "Sorry I'm late, there was a shoe sale, and there were just the most amazing shoes that I had to get." We all laughed apart from Allison, who looked confused. "What? What's so funny," that just made us laugh more. Allison was a shopaholic and we all new it. "Right so, what are we going to do now?" asks Jack. "We can go to the mall." Jack groans but Lizzie and I agree with Allison. "But we always…" "Three against one, we win" I say laughing. "Great, to the mall it is," Allison sounds so happy it makes me want to laugh. "Didn't you just go to a shop, like, half an hour ago?" Jack asks Allison, "What's your point?" "Never mind," Jack sighs. We walk out of the park. The wind is blowing my hair so fiercely that when I get indoors it's going to like there was an explosion in my head. I wish I had hair like Lizzie. Her long, silky brown hair was blowing softly in the wind, unlike mine that was blowing every where. Lizzie wasn't skinny but she wasn't fat. She was more-chubby, but she was confident. I wish I had a body like Lizzie or better yet like Ali, she was curvy but in all the right places. We walk into the mall, "Lets get something to drink before we go anywhere else," says Jack hopefully. "Ok, great" I say. We walk over to our favorite café 'Viva La Coffee' and I order a strawberry smoothie. Jack orders some coke ditto Lizzie and Allison orders seven-up and a slice of double chocolate cake. That's what really annoys me; Allison can eat like a pig and never get any fatter. I stare at her enviously. "Stop looking at me like that Roxy, your making me feel like I'm eating a person." "Sorry, sorry. I'll stop now." After about fifteen minutes we agree, well Jules, Allison and Jack agree, that we will split up and shop by ourselves and in an hour we will meet up outside McDonalds. They want to buy me birthday presents. "But guys, what will I do for an hour, buy myself a gift?" I ask desperate for them not to leave. "You can look around, try things on. Whatever, we have to get you a gift, your birthday is in a week," says Jack "Get them another time," I say. "Were all to busy to get them another time." Allison says. I raise my eyebrows. I know that there not doing anything all this week. They all look at me pleadingly. I give in. "Fine you win," I say. "Yay," Allison jumps up and down clapping her hands. I know she's 16 but sometimes she acts a lot younger. I sigh. "Okay, get out of here you lot. You better get me good presents," I say laughing. I stay at the table for awhile and sip on a fresh strawberry smoothie. Twenty minutes later I finally get bored and go up to McDonalds. I find a seat and sit down, but not before I make sure there is nothing on it. Someone sits down beside me. "Oh I'm sorry; these seats are for my friends." I say as I look up. A boy with black floppy hair and dark brown eyes is sitting opposite me. I hold my breath praying that I won't say anything to embarrass myself. "Well, your friends don't seem to be here yet, so I'll sit here for now." He says smiling. "I'm Liam by the way. And you are?" "I'm, I was. Just uh… here. Hi." Liam chuckles "Sorry?" I breathe deeply and start again. "I'm Roxy," thank goodness I got it right this time. What do you think so far? is there any way i can improve it? do you think this novel has potentiol to make it? thanks in advance =)

Our pick of the answers:

Your grammar is atrocious. However, once you look past that... Your story kind of is too. First of all, the very beginning is just... Wrong. I mean, what was it? What was the point of the thing hitting the house? Why did Roxy even look out the window in the first place? Was it just to get her to look in the mirror? Because that's a horrible strategy to tell the reader how the heroine looks. Mirrors are never a good idea. Especially since when someone looks in the mirror, they don't think, "Oh, my flowing brown hair looks fantastic and brings out my luminescent blue eyes." Seriously. Be more creative. The one thing that annoys me the most? Too much dialogue! You don't have to write everything the characters are saying! Mostly because it's just too boring to hear characters go through the normal small talk of every day life. If you ever read some great writers, unless the exchange of pleasantries has anything really significant in it, they won't write much except the real dirt of the conversation. By the way, if your excuse for writing every single bit of speech out is that you want us to get to know the characters, you need to rethink your way of communicating this information. Why not let it show through their actions? If Allison is really a shopaholic, just let her come up to the group with 6 bags hanging off her arms. One more thing - we don't care about all of this random extra information. I'm not kidding, we really don't. We don't care what they ordered, unless we find out that all double chocolate cheesecake has been recalled because of poison and your character is going to die if Roxy can't hunt down the vaccine from the guy who stole it and is attempting to get the government to pay him for it. You can have a few specifics. Where they ate is fine. It adds some depth to your characters. But there is such a thing as too much information.
