big breakthrough

Have you ever used a shoe-horn?
I ask because I have one in my possession for the first time ever. We were trying out the new supermarket brand cheap-and-nasty Christmas crackers, as we’ll be stocking them in the garage from Nov 1st (why wait til after Bonfire Night like tasteful human beings would, right Head Office?)
There are shitty presents in them like a bag with 3 marbles, a magic trick that doesn’t work, and a mirror that’s too small to see anything more in reflection than your eyebrow.
But I got a shoe-horn.
I didn’t even know what it was at first, I had to ask someone else what this curved piece of plastic was. For those of you, like me, unfamiliar with them - you put it in the back of your shoe, then you slide your heel down it, and it forces your foot into your shoe even if it’s too tight for you. IT’S INCREDIBLE!!!!
I am never, ever untying my shoelaces again.
