Pigpen - re bravissimo - are they any good? Did you buy online/by post and did you get a guide as to how to measure yourself? I could do with some new scaffolding in the chest department;);)

The exchanges took weeks!!

I didn't measure TBH.. I knew what back measurement I wanted I just underestimated cup size.. but I was wearing a DD so ordered f's.. didn't quite think they'd be too small!

Thanks everyone for the hugs.:A

I did forget to tell our good news. We phoned CSA yesterday and the case has been closed.:j The woman never replied to their letter so they closed the case. The only thing is that she could do it again anytime but we'll deal with that if it happens.:D

:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

although it begs the question as to why the CSA didn't actually contact you to tell you the case has been closed - the stress this has caused has been dreadful. I would be complaining personally...this kind of accusation can cause no end of problems - I'm appalled at their laissez-faire attitude!

cheque book ordered (after failed log ins to bank due to lack of goggles LOL)
