    lol i meant florence and fred :)

    well whats with these sizes in clothes? i bought a skirt from george yesterday size 12 it fits lovely, george trousers i got today in a 14 can't do up??? wheres the sense in that? only the skirt and 2 pairs of trousers out of the bundle fit at the moment, so i've still got clothes to slim into lol.
    That's why the clothes are cheaper - less quality control so sizes can vary despite the label. If I buy anything in Tescos, New Look etc I take all the ones in my size to try (so all the 12s on the rack) as one will fit better than the others.

    ah right Lucifa, so even though i can get into a size 14 from asda in trousers they all differ :( hence why some fit and some don't, I think the size 12 skirt fitted cause its loose around the belly, cause its still my belly getting in the way :(

    Evening, I'm back after a busy few days.

    Claire, I find Asda are bigger on skirts and dresses, but really small on trousers. When I was a size 16 everywhere else I tried to get a pair of their £3 jeans and couldn't fit into a 20.

    Oven's just pinged for my pizza. I'm shattered and don't have anything in so I was going to get KFC, but decided to pop into Aldi instead and see what they had, I ended up spending over £6 on five things! I think KFC would have been cheaper...

    Evening all,
    Hope you are all well, I started my final week at work today, so sad :( really gonna miss the place. But I needed the new job so badly so I know it's for the best.
    Just a quick question, does anyone know of any websites where I can find a dress for my nearly 80 yr old grandma to wear to her sisters golden wedding anniversary lunch. It needs to be classy, not too low at the front, not too long/short, but not look like a sack like the ones my mum keeps finding!!! Any ideas??

    I'm not having a great day. Pretty :mad: with myself, seems I've had a common sense lobotomy today.

    Top tip here. If you're going to knock tiles off the wall with gay abandonment do put something in the bath to protect it. 1 small dent in bath and one £26 repair kit later - ouch!

    ....and that's not the best bit. I can't use the bath/ shower for 4 days! I'm going to be really pleasant company. Just had a look at the chip is at the top end of the bath so may be able to use the shower if I seal the chip off with a plastic bag and some ducting tape.

    What a numptie!
