Looking to buy a 'fit bit'
Hello all :) I am looking to buy a fit bit, but saw that they are around £100 and don't really want to spend that much if I have too.

When bras attack!
Is there any sure fire way of recovering a good bra after the wire has started to poke out in the middle. I have tried stitching, but am still getting stabbed! I also fear for the washing machine. Would be good if there was some kind of cap to stick on the wire end then stitch in? Any ideas
