I would and if you find you build up a big excess you could then decide if you want to use it all on clothes or part of it to pay off debt or put a n a rainy day fund.

Thanks....!:D
I do need some fitness and walking gear. It's just that they are pricey and I'm looking for a bargain! :rotfl:

Spent £2.00 on a BNWT Merino wool beanie . I've been looking for a dark wool hat - all my woolly hats are bright or light coloured & this is less conspicuous. A practical buy & a bargain - cost £20 new.

Lol I have been laughing at the shape debate
I am 5'6 have a small back and rib cage (or I must do ) and yes I would say my shoulders are quite narrow.
I am big busted and take an F cup. :eek: and need a good bra as they need a bit of help these days

I'm only a DD/E (style dependent) because my ribs are so wide that I take a large back size which reduces the relative cup size. If I had a smaller rib cage it would jump up to a G. I have the same physical boob volume/size as a 32G or a 30GG.

I suppose it's fortunate that my ribs are the size of Russia since it pushes me back down into the size range of Primark :rotfl:

My best friend is 2-3 clothing sizes larger than me, yet takes a smaller back size in bras :eek: and has very wide shoulders, so I don't think those two things are connected.

Honestly I haven't worn a 30" back since I was 12. Oh, the days when I was a perfectly respectable 30B... :rotfl:

This made me laugh. :rotfl:

Driving to a friends house the other night I thought I was having a panic attack. Later I decided that my bra is just too tight Put on a few pounds over winter and think I have moved from a 34b to a 36c. I wouldn't mind that so much if the rest if me hadn't also budged up a few inches :eek:

:rotfl::rotfl:Lex a ribcage the size of Russia :rotfl:That made me laugh.
Rowan Moon thinking she was having a panic attack as her bra was to tight :rotfl:That also made me laugh :rotfl:

I am keeping a couple of 32" as if I put on a few lbs I will need them :rotfl:
It just must depend on your ribcage size and the weight you carry on top of them me thinks
I think I could wear 32" fine when they are new but when they stretch a bit they dont give me the support I need.

The lady in Bravissimo said 80% of the support comes from the band and 20% from the straps. and I have checked this out by wearing a strapless bra of the same make and size and it amazingly stayed put :rotfl:But dont think I would chance it everyday or I might end up wearing it as a belt if it had stretched at all

The bra debate rages on

The great bra & ribcage debate has prompted me to measure myself. I've been wearing a 36 C bra - turns out that I'm 34 DD/E according to the charts- who knew ? (not me obviously!). Broad shoulders & narrow hips.

Rowan - Must have been horrible at the time but funny as a story :rotfl:

Lex - love "Ribs the size of Russia" - I've got those too :rotfl:

I know that this is not a clothes question but how do you Womble Boots points? I have the app and always check before I go into the store.
No spend on clothes this weekend.

I have had to buy a couple of items of clothing this weekend. At the beginning of this challenge I mentioned that I work from home but was looking for other work outside the home. Well I start a temporary contract on 22 February and as I currently live in skinny jeans I have had to buy a couple of office appropriate items. I have bought a pair of M&S black wool tailored trousers on ebay, a black pencil skirt also on ebay and a jersey pencil skirt from TU. I just need a black round neck cardigan and with other items I already have I am good to go.

Well done on the contract Dolly Thats good news and the needed spend is pretty modest if you ask me

somerandom how about that then you are now going to have to be on the look out for bargain bras in the right size :rotfl:Always worth going into Bravissimo and getting measured now you have moved in to their target size market :rotfl:without even knowing it You dont have to buy;)

My shoes that I wanted ages ago on the Bay and I took off my watch list so I wasnt tempted Have just been relisted and were on my 'Items for you may be interested in list'

But thinking about it I do love these shoes but how comes no one else does ? :rotfl:I think its because they are quite expensive and the postage cost is just silly.Still a lot cheaper than when they were new by about £100 I reckon but I do hate it when people hike the postage costs up :mad: Cant see the point as you are paying the same fees out now.

Thats my moan over and all I am doing is delaying cleaning out the chooks which must be done today as they make such a mess :mad: Someone remind me never to get any more of the filthy things :rotfl:ever ever again.
