    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!!!! :o:o:o

    I WILL be good. :A

    A good half of my wardrobe is Red Herring. I love their vest tops - £7, various colours AND adjustable straps :D I have so many shrugs too :o
    Actually, I have clothes from there I've worn maybe once :o:o Uniform stuff though which I got a massive discount on, must get some of it on Ebay!

    On the subject of jeans - I am size 8 and I only have one pair at a time - it is sooo hard to find a good fit, but I have found for my curvy figure that oasis boot cut are nice and john rocha straight cut are good too (but a bit more expensive) - those two pairs have seen me through uni up to now = 8 years!!!

    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 :D ~ Well one has to dream

    (((((((hugs)))))))))))

    I know what you mean about the doctors,

    me - migraine/misberable
    doc - take pacetmol
    me they dont work
    doc of course they work
    me - no they don't
    Doc - take more they are perfectly safe.
    me - ....ok

    Mum has terrible trouble with them they don't listen to her at all.

    I can't give medical advice on this forum Buffy, but PM me re: migraines, might have a suggestion.

    I have eight pairs of jeans that I wear and two I don't - omg that's really bad. Some people eat, I shop, clearly.
