Is there a Boyses store anywhere near you? I got a "Splendour" bra that should have been about £30 - for four pounds.

It might be worth checking your size at a Bravissimo shop - I thought I was a 42DD and they had me as a 36F (38 F is more comfy though).

Thanks for the reply. I'll sneak a stapler home from work on monday to try that.

Reading back my post I didnt realise there were sooooo many spelling mistakes!

no Boyses by me unfortunately.
i got measured today actually as i had been wearing a couple of different sizes. which were really uncomfortable! But i didnt go to bravissimo (im not sure there is one anywhere local) but i got measured and she said 44dd.

Ive found a couple on ebay and im 200 points away from £10 paypal money on lightspeed so i will buy 1 from ebay to try out (can always re sell if no good) and then i will know if its comfy and perhaps ask mum or hubby for christmas

as long as i have 1 or 2 to get me by without causing pain i will be happy. But thanks everyone!

i looked on oxendales and they have one for £9 if all else fails and whilst i was there i saw they had plus size thermals not that expensive if anyone plus size is looking.

Can't believe it's down to 5 tonight a few more degrees to go and it will gradually get cold enough for snow!

Katkin - double sided sticky tape - some on the wall - use a garden cane to smooth it down, and then the foil sticks to it. xx

My woodburner has been despatched:) Manufacturers must have been working like mad as we've only had to wait three weeks instead of the six they'd quoted. Chimney passed it's HETAS test yesterday so now we're just waiting for a date from the installers:)
