Oh! I was getting excited waiting to know what was in it. Now I'll have to wait another two days.
Oh well, happy extended birthday

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Thank you, SDW!
I might go pop with excitement by then! It has worked out conveniently because WaSp doesn't need to be at Milliefleur's so he will be here ready to collect it.Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened - Anatole France

As an alternative to stretching - carefully cut the seams down the side of the jumper. Then you could lace it together with a gap in between, think Liz Hurley's safety pin dress! A bit like this http://www.instructables.com/id/Resize-large-T-shirt-with-lace-up-sides-No-sew/step3/Lace-the-sides/

Oooh, good ideas, Solar. It isn't too tight around my waist and hips, it's the top half of me. I have to buy very loose tops for this reason and I can't wear dresses at all, think upside down triangle or upside down pear! I have always been at least one size bigger on top than my hips and I am currently two sizes bigger and consequently have had slouched shoulders ever since being a teenager which does nothing for my arthritis. I hate it and long for a fitted dress.Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened - Anatole France

I was thinking this too, but a knitted insert (could be cut up bit of another jumper) rather than lacing

I do think that could work, JM. As long as it gets wider at the top it will fit. Mind you, WaSp will hate it in a week, it plays jingle bells everytime his nose lights up!

Evening all.
Quick change of subject. I've just been reading in the paper about something called Star Wards (can't post a link, you'll have to google) Just wondering if it's something anyone has practical experience of, and how much of a difference it can make? Looks like it could depend on staff buying into it, which can be an issue. Thought I'd share it anyway, as it was started by a woman after an inpatient admission and its an interesting read.

I am totally speechless and crying my eyes out but it's good. My parcel arrived, I don't even know where to start unwrapping. You are all beyond wonderful, I can't tell you how much you all mean to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am off to find a tissue and start unwrapping (this must be how children feel at Christmas!)!Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened - Anatole France
