    Agree Sainsburys Tu this time is very disappointing. I took pics of everything that looked possible about a week ago but they all seen to have been and gone in the meantime.
    It might be worth a look online and then ordering to collect instore
    I did get some sale stuff but all winter things which if they fit will go straight into the winter storage.
    About the only summery thing I really hope does fit is a sleeveless white blouse with embroidery on.
    There are some sundresses but things with waists dont always look right on me now as I am out of proportion.
    I also had a look at Asda George during the week and they have some linen mix shift dresses, sleeveless, nice neckline - might be too long though, below the knee. There were 3 types but none in my size so if they dont have any stock in the nearest Asda again I am going to order online

    Morning all. Glad it’s not just me! Thank you Mhoc. I shall look at George.

    I'm popping in as I know I've not posted much here lately - just to explain I have a lot going on - either that or I'm just not wanting to do anything - and I'm going very slowly on things on here. I still have two posts from last Monday to reply to. I probably never will:rotfl:. I'll see you again sometime - just too busy, or too unmotivated, to post!:D:wave:

    Good morning Savvy. Go gently and come back when you’re ready please.
