Honestly the manufacturers are improving - ten years ago there was hardly anything over a wide E or above that was n't beige elastine stretchy material and with no style at all - that or hospital shoes and nobody really wants to go down that route unless it is for a real medical need.

So yes its a slow progress but they are getting there.

try googling "wider styles footwear ladies" go to the one called "mari****" and go through their site - there is plenty out there.Just keep the court shoes for dancing:)

People with narrow longer feet ie size 9AAA have a hard time too in fact so you are not alone.In fact womens shoe size above a 10 can be a nightmare to find .

Oh And I still haven't bought any more clothes since those few shirts in Jan. Happy me.Although it is my daughters birhtday next week and we are having a family meal so need to plan what to wear this weekend so no "panic" going through the wardrobe on the day/night as there will be photos. lol!

I did try the site but my size only had 2 pairs of shoes .1 was a eee and the other an e,but thanks anyway

Hi Rosemary I am an ee fit too and I do find it a problem to get comfy shoes. Some of the M&S ones sometimes fit if I'm lucky.

Really proud of myself as I am going out tonight and both yesterday and today I went and looked at clothes and shoes to wear but I couldn't find anything I wanted enough to justify spending money out of my allowance:D. So had a good root through my wardrobe and have got trousers, and a top (only worn once) and have pulled out some shoes from my collection that I have never worn.

One thing I have decided is that I need a good jacket for going out in. I have a winter coat, fleece, waterproof jacket and a body warmer but nothing smart for evening so I may have a search for one and see what I can get. Mind you if I could lose 2 - 3 stone I would have more jackets than I could shake a stick at:rotfl:

No spend for me. Can I get to the end of the summer term without buying maternity clothes? We will see...

Hi there , have been doing really well so far , bought a cardigan on ebay last month for a wedding next month but hoped that would be it for a while.

Well my work shoes finally gave up earlier this week - luckily due to my overspending last year I have another two pairs in their boxes under the bed. Good quality and hard wearing so should last me well into next year.

However I have an interview next week , whilst I have lots of smart skirts I can't find a suitable top so looks like town tommorow. Any ideas what sort of top would impress in mental health ?

Oh dear, picasso, not one with long sleeves!

Sorry...just look the smartest version of yourself and make sure you are confortable.

Think I might join in with this challange. I haven't bought any new clothes since June last year (there are some great charity shops in my area). I work at a Children's Centre so I don't like to spend too much on clothes as they normally get covered in paint/cornflour or worse!):eek:

I get lots of good comments on my outfits, one colleague said I always looked stylish!:o I don't tell them where I get my clothes though! I've don't know exactly how much I've spent this year already, about £25 I think so I'll start from there. Mind you this has bought me 3 pairs of jeans (including BN Next and M&S), 2 pairs of trousers and at least 6 tops/jumpers (Monsoon/Next/BHS/Reebok).

Most spent on an item in 2010 - £5 on a brand new River Island shirt dress. Tag said it cost £35! :T
