Cresset Shoe Repairs & Dry Cleaners

We may not be cobbling but we are still raising money for charity. What a year it has been since closing. Some treacherous bumps in the road for myself health wise...but I'm still here! As for the offspring.... she's now at University in her second year and now fundraising for Surfers against Sewage to raise funds to keep our waterways clean of 💩!!!!!! She will be taking the plunge in the sea everyday in October.. the current sea temp is 16° but it will soon change!
If you have a spare penny or two please help her raise money for this important cause.

We're committing to do a cold water dip each day this October to support Surfers Against Sewage. Every cold dip we do and every pound we raise helps keep the pressure on the water companies and government polluting our rivers, lakes and seas. 💧 £5 helps fund our ocean-saving campaigns. 💧 £10...

..then the end of an era...

I've thought long and hard about this....and my heart absolutely has broken over it time and time again.
Not only have I felt I have failed me, my folks and my young lady.....but I've felt I've failed you guys....my lovely customers. Don't get me wrong there are some plonkers out there too...(alot) but for my own sanity and for the sake of my not so little mini me..its coming time to call it a day....business is not what it used to be....I'm also easily persuaded to knock off a little here or there or not charge what I should...but ultimately I need to survive.and running a shop has ended up eating into every last bit of my savings...and my mental health....yes...I know...I've always been crackers...but I can't get by on fresh air....I could possibly do with the diet (I've heard that from many a customer)... but now have to focus on my own health....and my family. The date will be realised in due course...but for now. I've been here full time for 22 years..part time for 29.... it's a lifetime....and that's enough.

To all the good customers out there....
Thank you for the music 🎶
Thank you for the care, support and kindness.

I will hold that in my heart.

For all the knobbers... stop being bellends to people...!!! Especially your lovely wives.

For everyone else... I am truly grateful for you allowing me to give my daughter, Eleanor, hopefully a beautiful life of memories with a mum who adores her... funded solely by you all. It takes a village to raise a child....or possibly a bretton centre and ypu have all helped me do that and I adore that many of you ask after her and remember her from pregnancy to now.

Thank you. And the updates will follow shortly.
Big love from the shouty one in the cobblers

Well hello there lovely people.....

We do have a bit of a gathering of duvets again so please could you collect overdue ones. If you are in need of duvets we do also have some well well well overdue ones which we can provide for a donation.

I have been removing many items from the rails for being overdue... we still have several pairs of curtains that need to be collected from previous months (years).

There will be some big news on the horizon soon, so please keep your eyes peeled.

For now... be happy...be safe and have a lovely weekend 😘

Don't forget...if you need me please text 07788205590.... NOT AT 5AM OR 11PM 🤣🤣🤣as some do.

Good morning all......half term is soon upon us...get ready for the snack begging.

Next week we will be closed for the start of half term.
Fri 25th
Sat 26th
The shop will be closed on those two days...but if you need to drop thing off, I'll be popping a tub in the barbers... bag your items up and drop them off...with a note inside with your name, number and what you require. I'll then collect them when I return so that you have them ready for the winter term. Please TEXT me if you do a drop off.
I do apologise for the inconvenience this may cause....as you all know I have a not so little sprout doing her A Levels and we are off to look at Universities 😭😭😭😭.
Everything else will still be as usual...just those two days closures.
Pray for me....I shall have my dad....YES he is still alive, as a backseat driver.

Good afternoon.
Could I put put a little gentle reminder that if you have been given bacs details to pay, could you please pay by close of the same day, otherwise we will have to stop this option.

Please remember we take cash or bank transfer not card. We have had a number of people not paying on the day recently and we simply cannot run a business for free.

Many thanks
M
