    Pap, try a few things on in a shop so you know what size you are there, then look on ebay for clothes. It also means that you can get clothes from a more expensive shop and still pay less than you would instore somewhere cheaper. It's what I'm doing now, since I've dropped a dress size or two since last winter. I'm trying to convince myself though that I don't need a new coat, cos I can just wear a baggy one this year. Wont last longer than that though cos it's already starting to fall apart

    Ames, I am so with you on this. I usually get george clothes but sometimes I will find bargians on ebay. The prob is I dont want to spend a fortune because they arnt lasting long. As it is all the tops I brought (for £1.50) and added transfers to to wear on holiday doesnt fit :mad: I only brought them 3 weeks ago :rolleyes: I am quite lucky though because I transfered some money from savings a caught the asda sale online. Managed to get 5 tops, one cardigan, a pair of trousers and pj's for £35 :D I now have loads for holiday and these should fingers crossed last all through winter. Appart from two they are all feminine/ladys tops, no more t-shirts covered in jumpers :T Mum couldnt believe it when I pulled out the top I brought today and it was bright blue, she asked where the black and grey were :rotfl:

    Oh and I spoke to hear about how she feels about my weightloss and I have cleared the air a bit. She now realises that this is or my long term health not just a fad. Even my brother has told me he wont be buying me choc for xmas as it doesnt want me to put it all on... So cute :A

    Anyways that was all self indugent again :rolleyes: Sorry guys :o

    Not sure how losing so much weight can be a fad, but it's good you've cleared the air. I'm really loving my weight loss, usually I'm looking at clothes a size bigger than the year before, now it's a size (two on the bottom) smaller. And because I'm feeling good about it I'm buying clothes I actually like, instead of just going for whatever's cheap and my size. And I'm only a fraction of the way through my weight loss!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
