If on the other hand you think of a solution to my stretchy but slippery waisted trousers feel free to let me know.

My mum taught me to take nine identical lengths of sewing thread. You would then plait three together. When you had three plaits, you would plait those three together. If that's not enough, make more and plait those in too. Then you had a fine piece of thread that was durable enough to be a belt loop and would just sew into place. It wouldn't necessarily work with big heavy leather belt but it works fine with fabric self-tie belts and is my own method of choice for when the belt loop breaks on woollen cardies. Plus of course they are relatively discreet, so if this doesn't work as a solution you just cut them off again.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Should I give up or is there a way to keep such clothing up? They feel so good.......but I don't want to keep pulling them up.
Get out a needle, and add 4 inches of elastic to the inside of the top of the waist at either side. That would work....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Same advice as for LIR yesterday - cool drink, feet up!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

My hair has gone all Cheryl cole but blonde. It's huge and in those big tonged curls as opposed to my own sort. It's good fun.
I on the other hand have gone all limp and flat and depleted. I'm not sure I can even brush my teeth and get my make up off.0
