    Gosh you're lucky ...mine have given up many a time...lol

    Probably because mine are so naturally firm they don't need much support so don't put strain on the wire........




    yeah right :rotfl:I haven't gone braless since I was 12 and even my bikinis are fitted for cup size. Tried on some last year from a cheap shop which were supposed to be cup sized & supported :eek:, em, lets just say I soon appreciated what good scaffolding is in my normal ones :rolleyes:

    If anyone ever comes to the East Mids........ try HERE or HERE (the 1st one is my local :D)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    EH - you pipped me to the post on BB this morning. I was on 1tg (as they say!)

    Well done!

    ROFL - oh, you mean my stupendous £3 win! I've put the request in to withdraw anyway - we'll see if they tell me I can't withdraw that small an amount.....I'll top up if so. As they say, every little helps - when it lands I shall add it to the total.

    I have my usual list of stuff to do over the weekend - into town with MrEH tomorrow morning, then possibly to the second hand record shop near where we used to live in the afternoon in the hope he might give me more for the pile of CD's I've got to shift than Music Magpie have offered. Mr T's on the way home, then various jobs to do around the flat.

    Looks like I had another small (£1.50!) win on BB on pre-bought tickets, but of course I now can't withdraw because of withdrawing last night! It also looks like they'ver reverted the £3 back to my cash account (although they haven't told me as much) and have removed the final 40p I wagered last night from those winnings and returned that value to my bonus, which I'm a touch miffed about! I'll play safe tonight and deposit £20 to withdraw £24.10 anyway. One thing I have noticed - if you're going away for a few days and want to safeguard your bonus, if you pre-book tickets using your bonus for each of the days you're not able to play, it still counts as playing, so you come back to a nice amount of bonus waiting to be played through! OH might make use of that one over christmas and new year....! ;) (Always feel it's a bit unsociable to spend too much time on the 'puter over christmas!)

    Have a good day everyone - we're just off out to start working through our list!

    That is good LT - hope I come out that well up on it! Yes - in the prepurchase window there are drop down boxes for the days you want to look at. Took me a while to spot it, too.

    First half of the to do list tackled - went into town this morning and got a few of the outstanding christmas presents tackled. Was going to get a mini can of hairspray to stick in my aunt's toiletry bag of travel-sized goodies then realised I've got one sat here somewhere that someone gave me and I've never used so.....! Just got to find it now. Remembered to get the lamb out of the freezer for lunch tomorrow and the muffins for after tea tonight. Popped into Tesco (Two of them!) and bought the regular shopping and also some bits I'd got vouchers for reductions on - the knorr stockpot stock-reductions and a couple of Paul Rankin bakery bits - Tesco have his potato cakes at 72p at the moment so with 20p off as well they're a bargain and they're utterly delicious! Total spend £7.05! :j Popped into the charity shop for books and bought 10 for £4 - that includes the Ewen McGregor / Charley Boorman (Extremely distant relative of ours we believe!) "Long way round" book which I've wanted to read for ages! Lots of nice pics of Ewan too so that's a bonus! :D

    The cowboy contractors are still making life hell here - the mess they're making is incredible. Still, they were stupid enough to put a "resident satisfaction survey" through the door yesterday so we shall be having some fun with that! :eek:

    Dove have sent me a full sized sample of their new body wash to try - hurrah! Looks really nice so I shall follow the instructions and use ot for the next few weeks before providing feedback - hopefully then next time they need something testing...! :A
