    I've been measured and all the rest of it silvercar ( think I'm odd shaped). I do occasionally find one that is comfy, then buy a few, then they stop making it and off I go back to non-underwired.

    Size is one thing...shape is another. I find balconettes most comfortable, but if you have, say, narrow shoulders they would not be.

    I can now spill the meeting beans. Just got back from meeting LIR for hot chocolate... well, she'd have had iced peach tea except they didn't have any - so they took her order for iced lemon tea.... and after 5 minutes they came back to say they had no iced tea, so she had still water.

    WATER!!! .... when there was Hot Chocolate With Squirty Cream on the menu!!!

    Madness.

    :)
    I actually wanted iced yea with no ice.

    So tepid tea.

    And what you got was iced tea with no ice and no tea either. ;) Hope you enjoyed your chat with PN even if things were less than ideal on the beverage front. :)

    Also, have you any further news about your heating (ie whether it's working) and/or your dealings with the guys that installed it? Or is that all hush hush and sub judice?

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Who - PN or lir? They are both wonderful people whom I count as my friends (and have met IRL) but I'm not sure that I would describe either of them as "normal". But then I wouldn't describe myself as "normal" either. ;)

    Oh lir, Lydia - turning down hot chocolate, beyond my simple comprehension.

    PN, I'm a telly free zone, it works well for me.

    We're not as common as normal.... we're: Dare to Be Different Gals.

    Exciting..... enigmatic ..... individualistic.

    Normal'd be right dull :)

    It might do, but without it there's total silence here.... today when I met LIR I hadn't had a conversation with another human being for 2 weeks, since I met up with Spirit. So, for me, the telly is background noise/company.
