    Well sorted Pippi! Bit annoying, but at least it's sorted out now. Very daft though!

    Off for a pop round the diaries now, left home at 6.30am, got back about 25 minutes ago <yawn> Forced myself to wash my hair, make lunch and sort out clothes for tomorrow because however much I didn't want to do it, I'll want to do it even less at 6.30 tomorrow morning! :rotfl:

    :T LT! I see spending time on here as investment in my friends and life too :T :T (of course, sometimes there's a bit of a balance with work too! :rotfl:)

    Funny day here. Statistics course at work (entirely baffling, but I *think* came out more knowledgeable than I went in! :rotfl:) Poor old Mr Daffs isn't in a good way, and is curled up on the sofa with a hot water bottle :( Caught up with myself at work today and yesterday though :T

    PhD tomorrow <wibble> Trying not to panic :o Meeting supervisors at 2pm, so need to have a plan of attack all sorted out by then (and some work done too!)

    Ten days into the 50 day challenge now too! :eek: :eek: Was going to do an update tonight, but since Mr Daffs is home and sick, I might leave it til the morning :o

    Oh! And my new bras arrived! :T :T Very exciting - but sadly they don't fit :(:( And since they charge for returning items :mad: (I did know that, but thought I'd take the risk!) I'm going to take a trip over to Meadowhell at the weekend :eek: to return and replace them. I WILL have some new underwear soon, damn it, I WILL!

    (can't quite figure out if part of the problem with these is the style, but I think they actually just don't FIT either...)

    And failing that, I'm going to be saving up for a trip over to Manchester to Bravissimo. This was meant to be an EXCITING project, but right now it just feels like a demoralising fiasco! :o

    Anyway, all cheery really, just tired, and not going to get much done this evening. Ah well, will make sure I'm well prepared for tomorrow's day of work.

    (oh, and I only seem to have £1.50 left of the week's food/unnecessary budget :eek: Not sure how that happened! :eek:

    Hi Daffy, Dont be too down about the fitting. I find that different makes are so different. I tend to stick with Fantasia because i know that I can order them and they will fit, I once tried La Senza and was in tears because they would not go near me. I think that they tend to be made quite small. If you stick with the likes of Freya, Bravissimo and Fantasia you should be ok. Bit more expensive but really worth the expenditure. Good idea to take it into the shop. You can actually try it on then. Dont Debenhams have any sales on at the moment. That is how I tend to get mine

    thanks cherisong - but it was Debenhams that had me bouncing around all over the place the other day insisting something fit when it blatantly didn't! So they're on the same Don't Touch list as M&S now... :D You're right about sticking with the others though - I only went with La Senza on the off chance because it was on offer and my sister recommended it!
