lol EH i braved a visit to the website yesterday and have ordered 4 different types, i'm expecting to have to return them all but this time i'm determined to keep trying, i've not really got much choice to be honest. I really hate shopping for them as i can't get anything on the high street it's something i end up doing alternate years and when i find one which fits me the best or the least worst then i buy a few of them.0

realistically there's worse things than feeling that i've been judged and found wanting, something's going on with someone in my team which is a lot more serious than that and could be potentially life changing and is challenging and not something you expect when you're only 36/37.0 -
