    I've never had a pair of well fitting jeans until I bought some Red Herring ones last year and they are fantastic. They're quite dark blue, boot cut, look quite sexy and stylish and you can wear them dressed up or down. I luuuuurve them, and they're not very expensive.

    I love clothes shopping for other people but not so much for me. I'm a trained personal shopper, so am good at finding clothes for people - ask my mum, I picked nearly everything she owns!

    I'm watching and I'm not laughing.

    No you have wrong end of the stick, I dont find it funny in that sence either. I find it totally unacceptable, when I was at school I was one of the 5 in my year that didnt get pregnant while at school. One of my 'friends' was due in the middle of her science exam. I find this programme a joke, as I didnt the last one and so I will the next one. Only a few months ago the government was going to bring in refusing to treat obese people. Now what if I made my opinions heard because I think spending upto £15k on one birth for a teenager is totally ott. I was taught to respect myself and respect my body, if only some of thase girls was taught the same thing when they were younger :rolleyes:

    *obviuously those in a marraige and those (like another one of my friends) in a stable relationship I see no problem with it but some of the teenage mums dont even know the dad*

    Beanie, I think that you just need to try lots of pairs of jeans on till you get one that suits your shape. it's not necessarily expensive jeans you need it's just a cut thing.

    Evening. :hello:

    In no particular order.

    Well done Mr & Mrs Lenny.
    Well done Spud.
    Bookie, not got a touch of sunstroke have you.
    Linda, hope the plumbing gets sorted soon.
    SRM, hope OH gets back safely this time, with phone etc.
    Sorry if I've missed anyone :D

    My problem with jeans/trousers is that my hips and waist are not in proportion, so I get gaping round the waist. I would love a capsule wardrobe, although I know I'd soon get bored of it.

    Yes, I think they're only sold at Debenhams - not 100% sure on that though.

    They have lots of styles but only some of them come in petite length for us 5ft3 and under girlies!
