    The age thing is very interesting...wow twins at 46..that's amazing...you have my admiration there.

    I did lighter life diet once but had to come off it as it made me really ill.


    Only got up at 9.45am...LOL

    So having a brew and DS is coming at 10.45 to help me plant pots as I can't bend to the bottom of the bin to plant them...it shouldn't take long as there are only 4 plant pots worth to pot up.

    Please forgive me if I can't keep up with all the diaries ..I am trying to but is taking a lot of energy...I'm notignoring any of you..lol

    I may go out in a bit as I think the taxi will need some diesel..the hungry beast that she is..lol

    I need either pyjamas with buttons or nighties with buttons up the front around size 24 ...does anyone know where I can buy these?...as they have to get to the boob and dress it and do drains..this is what they recommend as it will be hard to lift my arm to pull it out of an ordinary nightie...

    Glad you got a lie in!

    M&S have some lovely PJ's - however they only go up to size 22 but maybe you should have a looksie

    Just checked Evans, as they have a sale on, nada there!
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Thanks for that...I think it's going to be hard to find them not only because of my size but even pyjamas with buttons are hard to come by...
    Thanks for looking....

    What about men's pyjamas, Taxi? I found these http://www.manshopuk.com/acatalog/large_mens_pyjamas.html.

    I can suddenly see the problem you're facing. I did a search, went to play.com, and saw some groovy women's pyjamas, they had XL, so I checked out the sizing chart, and their XL is British size 14!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous.

    Hi Taxi,

    Perhaps you should consider maternity nightie or pyjamas. The nighties have buttons for easy breastfeeding . I will check mothercare to see what size they go up to:)

    Have a good day

    Thanks everyone...I am now sorted....

    I used Marisota...and bought 2 pairs of pyjamas,2 soft seamless bras,a fleece dressing gown and a pair of fluffy boot slippers...for the grand total of £99.98 inc delivery....which considering the size of me is bargainous....thankyou to whoever posted that link(sorry can't remember who it was)..so I will be sorted by the time my op comes round...hope they are all in stock..it says they are..also used quidco for 4% CB.

    My potatoes are potted now and all plants watered for today.

    The car has been filled.

    I went to Matalan and K shoes and just ending up buying a pair of sandals...

    and that's it so far today.

    Well done Taxi, even better for remembering Quidco.
    A true MSEr if ever there was one.

    I am using Mr Twit's car at the moment, which is diesel & huge....where's the cheapest at the moment?

    Mum & I paid a visit to the farm shop yesterday, lovely cake :drool: bought sausages & bacon.
    Have you found somewhere that way on for veg?
