Chirpy when you've got the funds have a quick look at Amazon too - came across this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pack-Black-White-UNDERWIRE-Lace/dp/B0052B7F28/ref=sr_1_4?s=clothing&ie=UTF8&qid=1318604941&sr=1-4 (2 pack for £20 and there's also quite a few around the £10 mark).

I totally sympathise ..... I'm a 36F and it's horrendous trying to find qood quality affordable ones.

maybe you could treat yourself from some of your car boot funds - it is very important to wear a bra that fits and it will make you feel so much better IMHO

Winter prep almost sorted now, but have a question. I've stuck sliver car sunscreens behind all my radiators using bluetak but they keep falling down. I've cut the ones that reached so that they hang over the radator fixings but need them to lie flat against the wall so that I can tuck curtains behind them (or hand wahsing on to dry). How can I get them to stay on?

On another note I've completely blown my budget today cos of this thread. Feeling slightly sick as I've just bought all weather tyres for the snow. Lets just say they were very very expensive _pale_.

Off to Lanzarote next week for the first holiday abroad in 6 years. So putting off the rest of the prep until I get back. Hoping for good weather there. Winter clothes can come out when I get back.

Thanks for all the tips. They are great.

I opened up a small stapler and put a few staples round the edges. The stapler just fit behind the radiator, it was a bit fiddly but it worked.

Not sure if it would work for you, but as yours are too smal would a bra extender work? Just thinking that it would make them a bit more comfy for you even if the cup size may be smaller than you would want. Extenders are very cheap and may tide you over until you can find something in your size that is sensibly priced.
Also try ebay germany, it would seem that there are a good few larger busted ladies there and bras in your size (I think its 100D) on Sofort-Kaufen (buy it now) go from 7 euros or £6.70 including postage to germany. If they will not post to the UK and you get a few I would be happy to ask a friend if you could have them delivered to her and she would post them to UK or bring them next time she comes over and post them from UK.

I use google translate and it does a pretty good job for getting most of the page translated, you can use your normal user as all the countries are linked, you just need to make sure the seller takes paypal for payment. If you need help drop me a pm

Make sure I got the size right before you buy, there should be an EU size in your current ones that you can check the conversion with!!
