perhaps none of us are really changing size at all...perhaps its the bra companies changing their sizes to make us keep having to buy them in a ploy to derail our MSE challenges?? :think: ...:rotfl:

Genie knickers coming on hols with me, but I'm not sure what tops I have which will go with them - so if I don't wear them, they'll be going back me thinks...possibly....perhaps

I think the bra sizing is probably less flexible than dress sizes in itself, it's just that their contents fluctuates over the month, and they stretch, and we have probably all done the thing of buying a bigger back size instead of a bigger cup size. Hence the fat back scare when saw myself in version that had stretched it's back size probably by two sizes and was at least one cup size too small, besides being at the far end of the 'average' ranges instead of a DD+ design (they tend to have wider backs and better placed straps). That will teach me lol.

buying bras only comes 2nd in bad experiances to buying shoes:(bought some lovely boux avenue ones(bras) and the band was miles too small in them.Tesco bra fit is too big and am on 2nd hooks after a few wears...today saw the bra I bought last month now half price ok was only £8 to start with BUT guess this means there will be no more4 matching knickers and they only had 2 pairs my size when I bought them:(
gone back to Freya rio as bought a beige one when sized at bravissimo so know it will fit.always got just peachy from figleaves BUT now that does not fit in new size:mad:
am trying to lose weight(helped by DH probs...see toiletry pots) so don't want to b y too many new undies...now down to 79.8 kilos:) trouble is my shorts fell down last week whilst gardening and only bought them a few weeks ago:rotfl:...strange shape ,small hips/large waist very hard to buy for

Decluttering

Another spend in the Mr T sale, a nice black dress that could work as an outfit for work or something to go out in. £8 but my mum has been feeling generous recently and she allowed me to put her "£7 off your shop when you spend over £50" towards it so I only spent £1. I felt bad (she's been treating me a lot recently) but she absolutely insisted. Who am I to disappoint?

Lula-Hula

Quite right on not disappointing your lovely mum

Happy New Dress

Decluttering

Me again, reporting it with a £7 spend on a winter jumper. Far too warm and cosy to use just now but I'll be thanking myself in October when it starts to get cold again. I saw it in November and it was £35 so I'm pleased I didn't cave in to buying it then

museumworker

£9 to declare - £3 on a topshop orange cotton jumper, £3.50 on next linen black shorts and £2.50 on gap white knee length shorts. Summer - bring it on :D

Shoe_Gal

£18 on 2 bikinis for my hols but may return one - not very flattering
