    *bites down comment about roasting* Glad he's doing ok, SS :D

    I don't think there's a joke about roasting you can make that I haven't already :rotfl: I'm hilarious, me, although he is phenomenally unappreciative.

    Hello, Poppie, how are you? Have you come to help Rhys and Andrew show James how it's done?

    Question, where on the high street can I find plain cotton V neck tops? Not T shirts, the tight fitting ones. For me? Newlook used to do them but last time I looked they only had high neck ones and they make me look like flubber.

    Hello all,

    *waves* at Poppie and Sascha

    I can't believe I've not been on for a week! Could someone update me on what I've missed, as I don't think I can read back 70-odd pages!

    I missed you all though xx

    I think M&S have some.

    I bought some pleat round-neck tops today to act as tummy camoflage! If you have a mummy tummy these are a godsend!!
