    Just thought - has anyone heard from Bunny today ? She hasn't posted on here has she ? Hope I've not scared her off with my 'Loose Women' campaign :(

    She's posted on her FB, just not on here :(

    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.

    Thanks skint.
    Im just so bored trying on jeans:rotfl::rotfl:

    I've been in touch with Bunny, she's okay just tied up with other stuff and a bit knackered - she's just said she's off to bed - I've told her you're all thinking about her. :)

    ~Re the jeans thing, i always go for the ones with the higher rise as any fashionable ones tend to cut right across my belly.... i hate low rise or even some standard shop jeans as spend most of the time pulling them up to cover my bum!

    Beanie - asda do a good range of sizes and are generously cut. Check out their £8 range at your nearest asda...

    Thanks skint.
    Im just so bored trying on jeans:rotfl::rotfl:

    I've gone to shops and tried a few pairs on all the same size but different styles and some gape at the waist, some are tight on the hips, some the bum's too baggy - there's no rhyme or reason really when they are all the same make! but yes it's boring.:D

    did you notice how much Gok's highstreet stuff cost - yikes!:eek:

    Yep I know that feeling.

    1. go to shop
    2. pick jeans out
    3. go in to changing rooms
    4. listen to skinny teenage girls discuss their boy friends and how fat they are, when they can fit in to size 8 clothes. seethe
    5. Break a sweat trying on first pair of jeans, get as far as your thighs
    6. panic about falling over
    7. try second pair of jeans
    8. get a little further
    9. risk infertility trying to do them up.
    10. repeat for next 4 pairs of jeans.
    11. repeat in at least four shops.
    12. give up and go eat mc Donalds.
    Nevertheless she persisted.
