    no DFD to worry about Buffy as I'm now DF - more the worry of the normal thing I do of buying stuff, it never fitting quite right and then it getting shoved in the bottom of the wardrobe.........:rolleyes: :o

    When I get back from holiday I am going to make a concerted effort to sell all the 'panic buys' I have bought from ebay over the years!! (in total, the money would probably pay for Christmas!:rotfl: )
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    my problem is not being of 'average' size in any shape or form. Smock tops make me look pregnant as well as fat. Anything which isn't long length (32 inches preferably) and with side splits is a no-no for the day time and I don't wear anything shorter than elbow length on the sleeves as the tops of my arms are horrific.

    Plus, lots of people are listing jumpers at the moment when I still want lightweight stuff - I think it's going to be around 20-22C during the day.

    I'm ok for night time stuff, we never go anywhere 'posh' so I can adapt work stuff but I do need a couple of pairs of cropped trousers and probably 3 tops for the day. I've got 2 packs of dye to dye some trousers I have already plus 1 top so I'm nearly there, but I seem to have entered 'holiday panic buying mode'.......

    have a snooze Buffy, hope you feel better soon.

    An exhausted Sammy checking in! A 5 mile run over road, grassy banks, a field, over about ten styles, through a wood, through a ploughed field and through mud and back onto road again! I wasn't last - I was third from last:rotfl: there was only 50 people and they looked like SERIOUS runners!

    I have just eaten a full chicken sunday dinner and I am still seriously starving...anyone wanting to lose weight HAS to take up running...when you realise how far you have to run to work off a bar of chocolate it stops you putting it in your mouth! or anywhere else for that matter......

    RIGHT - Bunny you are going to the Manchester meet if I have to drag you there by the scruff of your neck!!

    Spud - you too!!!!!

    IA - don't stuff your face with fat - you will put fat on....just eat when you are hungry and eat a little bit of what you fancy....

    Can someone tell me what on earth Jinky has done, I missed it!

    BB - go for it!

    and because of you lot I have now discovered the grabbit board and bought a bloody coat!
