    I can't really afford to at the moment.. I've only had these ones a few months but they are too small now.. I am certain th booby fairy keeps coming in my room instead of the girls.. I have gone from a C to an E/F+ in the last year!! The rest of me is the same size as it has been for the last 9 years.. other than when I was pg with DDs 4 and 5. I need to get DD1 and DD2 new ones first really.. I just hate shopping.
    If you get DD1 & DD2 measured, maybe some of your old ones will do for them, seeing as they don't seem to have been worn out :D

    Ironing done... hope this call finishes soon as I need to grab some lunch and move the washing into the TD) before the next one in half an hour. And I want to go for a walk during the next one.
