The other day i received an email from My Wardrobe offering me cheeky discount on sale-preview items, i hopped right on over and snagged myself an early Christmas present, to myself, from myself. With 30% off and my £20 gift card (that i had been keeping for a rainy day), i really couldn't resist...
Black Tall Hunter Wellington Boots - My Wardrobe (£69.00)
I treated myself to a pair of classic black Hunter wellington boots for a rather steal-worthy price of £33, including the very luxurious packaging and speedy delivery. My Wardrobe - i'll put my hands up here - have fantastic customer service. I ordered standard delivery, they were with me the very next day, with ribbons and fancy white wrapping paper, the whole she-bang. Definitely worthwhile signing up to their mailing list too, as they are forever dishing out personal discount codes every season.
I've had my eye on a pair of Hunter since last Winter, but always been put off by coughing up that amount just for a pair of rubber wellies. However some of you may have already heard of my knee trouble that i mentioned the weekend before last on twitter, but its really been troubling me. It all started when i was in duty free before i was due to jet off on holiday in the summer, my left knee gave way completely as i bent down (damn you Victoria Secret lipgloss) and felt rather crampish and achey after. Simply dismissing it as just one of those things at the time, over the past few months it's happened a few more times - giving way whenever i bend or crouch. Part of me think's i've been serving the grannies in retail so long, i'm slowing morphing in to one.
Yet last Saturday night was breaking point, my leg gave way and actually locked in to a bent shape. Looking back now its hilarious to think i couldn't actually straighten my leg, had to hop to the bathroom and have my dad carry me around the house whilst i was agony. Luckily (and thankfully, and bloody typically) it clicked back in to place just as i was about to jump in the car to A&E on the following Sunday morning. Straight away that week i went to the doctors and after inspection i have abnormal cartilage in my leg - lovely. And he informed me i'll probably need key hole surgery at some point to give a trim (puke). After a brief car-park cry to my Dad, who indecently everyone thought was my boyfriend in the doctor's waiting room, and with the advice of muscle building in the gym (er, exercise, what? this word doesn't exist in my vocabulary) i'll be fine. I just don't do any heavy lifting, any crouching, or knee bending. Basically, i turned into a granny.
So cut a long story short, i bought these wellington boots for strictly medicinal purposes, as god help if it dare snow i'll be knee lockin' an' hoppin' all over the shop. Now if that ain't a reason i don't know.
On a side note, how odd is this? Theres room for you to write your name and contact deets, just incase i don't know they should happen to be caught up in a mass wellington rendezvous and one should stray?
Tell me, am i the only 22 year old girl who makes her parents come to the doctor with her? And secondly, a desk chair makes the perfect DIY wheelchair should you ever need to know.
well done on your hunter wellies! :D i have them in red. defo singing up for some discounts xx
ReplyDeleteWellies are definitely useful in this kind of weather!
ReplyDeleteI think I rely on my parents too much as well! Bit different now I'm further from home but when I was my Dad would take me to the docs and sit and wait! Even when I moved into our flat I couldn't work the boiler and Chris was out so I sent Dad photos of it so he could explain how to work it- so needy!
ReplyDeleteI really really want some Hunters x
Bargainous Hunter wellies! That sounds awful about your knee! I have a similar odd problem - my knees get creaky and hot and throbbing and I can't bend them properly - I'm thinking I should definitely go and see a doctor now I've read this!

What a bargain for some classic wellies! I was wishing I had some Hunters yesterday when I was caught in the rain!xx
ReplyDeleteOo so glossy and sleek. I sometimes see random colour Hunters in my local tk maxx but they're always in size 9 or size 3 :\
ReplyDeleteLast time I went to the docs I took Sid and the time before that my mum, you're not alone! xxxx
Ooh, I love the Hunters! That sucks about your knee :( I love that you can write your details in the boot! That's such a cute feature, even if it may be a little useless... Those skirts you picked up are gorge! :) I can't believe the first one was only £6.50, definitely adding to my basket! xx
ReplyDeleteGood choice, I love my Hunters. I've just bought some of their fleece welly socks to wear with them which I'd really recommend.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awful, hope it doesn't happen again - I got those hunters last year during the snow and I love them x
ReplyDeleteHunter boots are always a great investment! You've done well with the discount and everything! :) Don't worry about going to the doctor with the parents - that's what they're here for! :) X

Hunter Wellingtons are the best purchase you'll ever make, once you've pulled them on you won't want to take them off, they are so comfortable, and you will look really good wearing them with a Skirt and Tights.
