    It doesnt half keep me warm. Great for winter evenings when I have to work outside for 2 or 3 hours :p

    dear god............what is the country coming to when this is a quote from our Prime Minister - has he lost the plot? Hasn't he got some rather more pressing matters to be sorting out - the recession for one ?

    Prime Minister Gordon Brown wished Jade Goody well and said the "whole country will be worried and anxious about her health".

    I struggle to find tights that fit.......I prefer to think it's the length of me legs, not the size of me arriss :o

    Never thought of wearing summink over the top like that, thanks Maz ;)

    At school we used to wear our p.e knickers over the top to keep our tights up. When I wore cheap tights I used to wear knickers over the top too. Now I have M and S tights massively stupidly expensive but they DO stay up through anything!!!

    Are Spanks knickers or something else?

    and hello by the way.

    any reason why since I have been on holiday all I want to do is sleep?

    like really bad can't keep my eyes open sleep. its really annoying.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Have to confess that when I did wear tights as a teenager I also wore knickers over the top - I guessed that because my Mum did, that's what everyone did!

    Yes - Spanx are knickers - they are shapewear. I'd need something a bit more concrete constructed to keep all mine in enough to make me look slim! :rotfl:

    Spanx are hold-me-in knickers;)

    I remember at my dad's funeral, the only tights I had came up to just above my knees. The neighbours had to run round to find me some long enough :p

    Tights often roll down when i'm walking, that's why nowadays I usually wear trousers, and only wear tights under them :o

    Tights are usually waaaaay too long for me, but I'm more of a hold-ups girl. :D It's not a sauciness thing, I just hate the feeling of them round my waist.

    Plus, I have a thing about nice underwear, so it seems wrong to wear gorgeous knickers and then cover them up with tights. :rotfl:

    I'll go now...... :o:o
