    This table is much smaller than the old one unless it is extended & it won't be extended probably ever!
    So concentrates the mind!

    When jeggings first came out, I tried a pair on in M&S and couldn’t get them over my feet, so gave up. I only have little feet 🀣 A couple of years ago I tried again successfully and now have 3 pairs. They are comfy though.Β
