My EX Bf threatened My Animals?
admin | April 16, 2012 | 10:11 pm | Boots | 26 Comments

He knows i love them dearly. He has only threatened my rabbit once, but he said ‘if you don’t stop . . . . . . ‘ I’m going to snap her neck.

With the dog, he’s said if she chews his hiking boots she will be beaten to death :( She doesn’t deserve that at all I don’t want her hurt.

Why did he do that? Was it a power trip?
All of my babies are happy and healthy indoors now :) I want them close to me.

How can I get rid of the Stink on my Outdoor Jacket?
admin | April 13, 2012 | 10:10 pm | Boots | 14 Comments

It’s made by Keela and is about 5 years old. It’s not Goretex but it’s something very similar. I wore it hiking up a hill in a torrential downpour then left it in my car boot for a month. Now it stinks.

I’ve tried febreeze, airing it and washing it in the machine and it still stinks.

Help me!

I bought a pair of hiking boots from a high street store and wore them once. They tore my feet to ribbons. Can I return them for a refund as they are not fit for purpose?

Is there anything I can do, underhand or otherwise, as I don;t see mydelf using these again and they did cost a fair bit of money. . . .

Cheers,

Derek

What’s wrong with my leg?
admin | April 4, 2012 | 10:10 pm | Boots | 3 Comments

I have pain in my lower leg It occours around the left side of my shin bone but only goes from the top of my ankle to around the middle of my lower leg I can feel fine and no pain yet when I sprint the pain becomes quite severe and stays around for days. It happens when I first went to the Peak District, during the walk it was fine but after the pain began to appear. Does anyone know what the problem might be? By the way I was wearing proper hiking boots.
