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!

Yes they are Debenhams own brand. I worked on that department

Pap, I'm shocked that someone as lovely as you has been so low and we haven't known about it. Aren't the doctors trying to do anything to help? I don't believe in all this 'drain on resources' rubbish - we ALL do stuff that takes a toll on our bodies, whether it be eating/drinking too much, smoking, doing a dangerous job...etc....

If you take it to it's extreme, Becky, who is a healthy eating, super-fit athlete type had an injury a few weeks ago, sustained whilst training for a marathon - should she be classed as a drain on resources for that? Should she not be allowed to train, just in case she has to take up a doctors precious time because her leg hurts?

Of course that's a ridiculous extreme, but where do you draw the line? Who gets to decide what is an acceptable risk?

Becky - I hope you don't mind me using you as an example hun - if you do, just shout and I'll remove it.

I love Red Herring, I wear it all the time.

Currently coveting some very foxy high heeled, patent black peep-toed shoes that would look fabulous with my new dress. And there was a cute black shrug........and a bag.......

Nooooooo, someone hide my credit card!!!!

I WILL be good. :A

Hugs Pap. I'm so sorry to hear you've felt that bad. Please remember we're all here if you need someone to talk to xxx

Nope not at all Snaggs - there are many problems with the NHS atm and one of its greatest is to treat injury/illness and not the person - we should be looked at as a whole and given the best treatment for the person we are - its sort of what GPs are supposed to do but they are so busy they never get time...

And its tough where to call the line - for example an obese person who needs a knee replpacement is more likely to die during the operation and less likely to use the replacement to its full potential and more likely to die of obesity related diseases a few years within having the operation, but whose to say if they were given it and then managed afterwards with a dietitian and exercise program they wouldnt be able to lose weight now they could exercise pain free??

Some things you just hide and keep to yourself. I saw a doctor who gave me some tablets. Took them for 3 months and felt no better but no worse. Havent been back since. I have no self confidence due to my symptoms of my illness but the docs dont care because I am overweight so they cant do anything. Well I am overweight as thats a symptom too :rolleyes: So I just dont go to the docs for anything now, its a waste of time when they say the same drivel to you whatever your problem. Anyways now I am going to do something I have seen work ~ stuff the 0% debt if I start getting interest on it. Its time to do something for me... And when I am 'normal' maybe people can stop the bullying and stop tarring me with the same brush ~ Well one has to dream
