    Lame Wolf Gossard used to make front fastening ones but I don't know if they are still made I have problems with fastening ones as since my mastectomy and 'rebuild ':) I have one boob slightly bigger than the other and because I have lymphodema in my right arm I can't get my right arm to work very well at all when it comes to bras, so I usually end up with those over the head sports type ones, and get them in sainsbury's for around £6 each .the other problem I have is getting a coat I can wear because to get the correct size my right arm won't fit in the sleeve, so I end up having to buy a coat two sizes bigger to get my arm through and the rest of it drowns me I did manage to find one with raglan type sleeves this year which wasn't too bad.But I have the same trouble with cardis and jumpers and normally wear short sleeved things.I have one ordinary sized arm, and one that's three times as thick,but I can live with my big arm as there is nothing I can do about it. I only have four lymph nodes in my right arm now so drainage is a problem hence the swelling.but it still beats having cancer and I have just learned to get on with things I can't change

    Went fruit and veg shopping today and spent £7.15 on veg and £5.73 on fruit so no more shopping required for at least a fortnight.I keep my fruit out in the conservatory where its cool and it helps keep things longer.
    Right I am off to bed now for a read ,hopefully my back ache will be gone by tomorrow as I have the boys to look after as its the last day of their holidays so I may treat them to a Subway for lunch as they really like them and I have a good bit of 'happy cash' left over from Christmas

    Cheers chums
