    Thanks all.

    Sorry, when I said padded I meant the type where they are padded to make the girls look huge rather than the light padding. She has a few of those.
    Will try M&S, though sure I tried last time, but they may have changed stock by now. Also look at Figleaves.

    30H :eek: I find my E cup bad enough.

    Sounds like your sisters didn't share very well, can't one donate to the other? :rotfl:

    Evening all

    I've eaten a couple of frogs this morning (money stuff), pottered around, had a bath and then went to M'hall with DS2. Met DH, bought new school shoes for DS2 and the left them together while I did some birthday shopping. Back at home we took a card and some chocolate to NN's DD, who has chipped her ankle bone. Had a coffee and a good chat. Lovely family!

    Then spent a bit more time with DS2 and removed some of the biological experiments from DS1's room. Tired again now, so I may have a nap on the sofa while I wait for DH.

    List for today:

    They were never good at sharing anything!!!

    I've not seen any bras in the girls ranges that are hugely padded TBH.. ladies ones often are.. I know the girls ranges do up to a C cup in M&S.. they def. don't do D though as DD1 had to get the ladies ones.. we found tesco bras nice for her.. I found it is best to find out the stores delivery days and go then.. even if it is after school.. they sell really quickly.

    or order online (with quidco ;)) and send back the ones that don't fit right!

    Came back, put shopping away, WM x1, rescued nose stud from the trap underneath the shower room sink (and put it in to sterilise), watered garden before it spontaneously combusted, had cuppa and went back out to get spare stud (as borrowing a pink sparkly ear stud was ridiculous) and - shock - her first bras.

    If I didn't notice her scoliosis and rib cage deformity much before, I do now - she measured a 28AA (doing it the proper way, adding 4" to her rib measurement), but in order for it to go round her back, had to get a 32AA and one strap is an inch shorter than the other. Got her 2 white ones for school and 2 others for weekends. Cost me a flaming fortune - but she is happy. Even when I pointed out that whilst she may call mine over the shoulder boulder holders, hers are more pebble pockets :rotfl:

    Where did you manage to get bras this small cupped please? DD is needing some soon and needing boulder holders myself I have no idea where to go for suitable-for-school-and-small-cupped ones and our a*da, who are usually my saviour in these cases, are hopeless :(

  • I went to the tried and tested, traditional place - M&S. Their Angel range isn't huge, but there are some very pretty, some fun and all completely non sexy bras. Nothing I would object to DD wearing.

    If you go through Quidco online, there's extra cashback; but here's the link straight to the collection

    oooh a new word bralets - I have never heard that before.

    I've done well with physical paperwork so off to bed now. I'll try to do an hour on digital paperwork (ie emails and links copious amounts of) tomorrow.

    Morning folks :wave:

    Set of for car booting at 4am, in the drizzle, not enough to worry about, about 3 miles down the road the heavens opended and down it came, so I drove round one of the many roundabout here and came home again!! I am not car booting for what little I will take in the p**ing down rain, also rain tends to equal lack of people who want to spend money.

    Now however at home the skies are a light blue and the sunm is coming out.

    So plan for now:-

    Unpack car
    Take photos of car booting stuff suitable to shove on ebay
    List said stuff on ebay for 5 days, so if not sold I can take it next week car booting!
    Ironing
    Sort out mountsock more
    Clean floors
    Do daily lists
    More planting out / weeding,

    Back later have a good day xx
