    evening all - lots of chat going on

    Tsabo - Happy Birthday

    Lost- good new with the eggs- fingers crossed

    Love the playsuit Vicki - wish I could get away with them but not too sure.

    Currently sorting out my 'too big' clothes now - what a satisfying job ready for my shopping trip tomorrow, went to the car boot this morning and got a denim jacket for £2 and a navy/ white frill nautical tshirty top £1, on line drying as we speak, may be wearing them for my shopping trip tomorrow:D

    Just want a bit of adive though ladies, I have a few pairs of leggings but they driveme mad as they seem to fall down all the time, I do like them pulled up 'a la' Bridget Jones knicker style is this why? are they suppsed to be hipster ish? I have them in various sizes and the ones I like best as the size 18-20 though I'm only a 14 as I pull them right up? have a bit of a mummy tummy but not vast so why oh why do they fall down all the time:(

    Lola Im a 12 but need to buy size 10 in leggings as they are always too big lol I always pull them up but I think they need to sit on the waist.

    Hi Lola, I have mine pulled up over the mummy tummy and have no problems with them falling down. Mine are size 12 and from Sainsburys and have lasted brilliantly through many washes and tumble dries.

    I find it depends where I buy them from as to how leggings stay up, New Look are pretty good,
    Zara were awful!

    Same here about leggings. I tend to find they are all different, iv had various pairs from primark and some 12s have been too small, some too big and some haven't lasted long.

    Nope! They are getting a bit big around the knees, I think I either need a smaller size or may just run down the sides with the overlocker next time I go to my parents.

    Retro, you do have very slim legs though don't you? My bottom half is bigger than my top but you look the other way round.

    Char,
    annoying + frustrating as it is, he is not worth your time or energy getting mad at.
    You helped him way more than he deserves,
    if he wants to throw that away and be even more of a fool then that's his problem and no reflection of you.
