    Brilliant that will be a great relief :)

    Where did you get your tights from Becky? I still have to visit Primark to look at theirs but keep seeing nice ones in magazines and stuff...

    I find primark tights a bit 'cheap' tbh - I get mine from tightsplease - £4.99 for 60 denier coloured ones (charnos I think) and free delivery - plus you get pigsback if you do that too...M &S is also good but ruddy expensive!

    I've just got a pair from Dunnes which are great, comfy and fit well. They were reduced to £1.75 too, I'm going to go back and stock up next week. Otherwise, I usually get them from BHS.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I bought a lovely purple pair from M&S the other day think they were £4 and they seem nice. Might have to have a look at tightsplease though :)

    Maz glad you had a super duper weekend, missed you :( and those clothes look lovely. Ive seen a dress I quite fancy what you think? Do you think it would suit?

    Sally with satin you have to be careful that it 'hangs' correctly - there's nothing worse than if its the wrong cut and it clings to the wrong bits!

    But I do LOVE it so if they have a good returns policy I would buy it :D

    Ooh didn't know there were Dunnes shops here - I've only ever seen them in Ireland!

    That's really nice Sal, I would definitely try it on - is there a Tesco with clothes near you?

    Tightsplease is good but I find myself tempted by the Wolford ones etc... :o I've got a fab stripy pair on today but I bought them in a supermarket in France so a little bit difficult to go back for more :rotfl:

    Thanks Becky...I did wonder about that, don't want all the lumps and bumps showing off. Im going to a private function at the Tower of London in December so I need something that looks nice and expensive but is cheap! Will keep looking I think!

    Unfortunately its an online exclusive but I am sure I can take it back in store if it looks awful. Just found some nice Jeans for OH for Christmas for £5 on tesco too :)
