    Really disappointed today. Got a top from ‘This is Unfolded’ with part of my birthday money. It came today and I am so disappointed with it. It’s way too big & the sleeves are like balloons. Having now read reviews I wish I had never ordered from them. I have emailed them to try to cancel the second part of my order which is trousers. I loathe wasting money. Bah. 
    Apparently the returns process is long & convulted Bah. 
    That's a shame, I hope you can cancel your order and get a refund ok.  So many clothes seem to be really voluminous at the moment,  I hate all the flappy fabric!
    Yes. I dress to be cosy in winter, not have cold air go up my sleeve.

    I remember when a size call it A was that size in all stores.  These days a size A is not the same in a different style in the same store.  It is a serious pain.  Actually I will rephrase that.  A few years ago I bought a top & liked it so much I bought another, the label said they were the same size but they weren't.

    Well done on the energy spurt…..that was the day after the pj day if I’m not mistaken. Shows you need more pj days to rejuvenate.
    Clothes definitely do vary in size. What a disappointment. Hope you get refunded soon 🤞

    Well done on tackling the duvet cover 🥳 I hate changing the duvet cover. Ours is king size and so hard to manoeuvre. The clips from Dunelm help though.

    Don't know what to say.  Just hoping the hurting doesn't last too long.  I seem to remember that I threatened to send you some bubble wrap - I should have done.  You need wrapping up like Michelin man to keep you safe.

    Luckily I slept ok. Hand sore today. Felt wobbly last night so the bits of bowl are still in a bag waiting to be decanted into the outside bin. 

    Both cats are on the bed.
