    Sorry, another question! Will the lilt/Fanta/sprite/dr p will work as well as the coke? - it works out a bit more expensive (40p each as opposed to 6p and would compare to S/M not T)

    They are on same mb deal so will just depend on whether they compare or not.
    Like the normal coke, it should have compared vT but came back na

    No problem!:)

    The normal coke hasn't compared with anyone:eek:, but the vanilla one does compare v M. at £1.

    It went missing from vs M a while ago and hasn't returned, during which long period, apparently, according to A's system, M hasn't had normal coke. And it isn't comparing against T either because I think A's scraping system is an inferior one to the one that used to be used via msm:(.

    (This is why, sometimes, items can now be riskier against non-M competitors and be easier to pick up against M. Although in this case they aren't picking up that either - undoubtedly a wording issue that, when they scan the M product instore, isn't seeing it as the same as the one in A (because of how it is being described on the 'new' (not very new anymore) system).)

    so see if I can get it from Phase 8 direct through TCB rather than through John Lewis?

    my neck is a starting to look a bit crepey so I tend to wear scarves these days to disguise the bit under my chins :D

    my height is another issue - technically I am 5 foot 4 but actually I think I am 5 foot 3 and a half so slightly too tall for petite ranges.
    and yes it would have to be knee length as dresses ride up when you sit down and flashing thigh is not very seemly :rotfl:

    Order direct and you can post back or take back to a Phase Eight store (but not a franchise). I usually order in 2 sizes and take one back. Which also has the advantage of giving you free postage over £50.

    You are not going to believe this but that is the exact dress I got from Monsoon about 3 weeks ago and it is even more gorgeous on than it is on line :j
    Its quite light weight so it would be good for packing so it could be a cruise dress - even good for formal nights

    it needs a little jacket - I am stuck on this now.

    I can see it becoming an Elite theme - start by looking at dresses and then try and find cruises to match the dresses :rotfl:

    also I can see me buying dozens of dresses this year with the wedding/cruise excuse :D

    I have large organza scarves that I wrap round my shoulders and tie loosely behind my back. Mean I get my hands free for the all important wine glass and no danger of the scarf falling off.

    First method in that video ^^^^

    So the demonstrator in that video is wearing a cowl neck with a long sleeve T underneath. That could be good for dressing down the dress we talked about earlier.

    (Admits to slight obsession with wearing long sleeve Ts with sleeveless dresses.)

    I think so.

    BODMAS so if we do the "x" bits first, it simplifies to:

    16 + 16 + 4 - 16

    36 - 16 = 20.
