    Morning - oi Mrs T, what are you doing online on a school day? :D

    Has anyone heard from Bookie after her day from hell? I know she was really worried about what would happen.

    Maz, having had a similar conversation with a child around Erin's age, if she's anything like Ryan was, she will take her lead from you - so keep it fairly low key and non-dramatic (as I'm sure you will - you don't seem the drama queen type at all), and she will hopefully feel reassured that although it's a huge change, it's not the end of the world.

    Play up the positives, tell her she can help choose the colours for her new bedroom etc. Keep it fairly brief, but make sure she knows that she can ask questions, either straight away, or at any time, if she has any worries, or there's anything she wants to know.

    One thing Ryan is very keen on is the fact we are still a family, even though me and Stu aren't a couple any longer - we occasionally all do stuff together (involves a lot of gritting of teeth and mentally sticking 2 fingers up, but we manage it!), and I think that helps, because that's what he says he misses, all of us going out together.

    Not really sure what's up with Mr Sunday hun, if indeed there IS anything up. I'm seeing him again on Monday. Feel like something has changed, but then *I* have changed towards him, so how can I complain that he has changed towards me too. Trying to make sure that I act normal (!) from now on, and don't hold back and try to be perfect because suddenly I really like him. As someone pointed out yesterday, he liked the version of me that was relaxed and not really bothered about making an impression on him!

    I've never bought Primarni underwear because you can't try it on, and you can't return it. But I'm a 34C and a 12 bottom (only in knickers - in clothing I'm more like a 14), so I guess they just sling sizes together and hope they fit the 'average' person!

    Becky - we get it, you is skinny :p

    Sizes vary from shop to shop, not sure whether it was on tv or in a magazine but a little while back they sent out 3 women to get a plain black pencil style skirt from all the high street shops, I think they were size 10 & 14 & 16.
    When they laid all the same sizes one on top of the other - IYSWIM, there was a difference in 5 inches in the waistbands of the smallest 12 to the largest 12 :confused:

    I'm inbetween, too big for a 12 but too small for a 14, need a 13 :rotfl:

    Morning everyone btw :hello:

    Thanks Squizzer, sorry you are having problems. I'm not sure there are many things more frustrating than a man who refuses to see that there even IS a problem.
