    Have you seen their online site? I don't have a store near me and I've used their website before.

    I've also used Figleaf once. I think the Evans ones are rubbish and designed by a woman who is a 32AA!!

    YaY:j maybe they have one small enough for me then. 32a bee stings really

    Anybody know a book or website that will give me ideas to re-design our garden.....purely in a frugal way :D

    I spent all day outside. First day for weeks that I could hang washing out.
    Chopped back a load of shrubs that are genetically related to Triffids I swear.

    Barrowed soil to the new veg plot to start filling my raised beds. Had to keep chasing cats off the nice fresh compost.
    Found a pair of secateurs I had "lost" last autumn :j

    But I really really need to do something with the "posh" bit of the garden where the field/lawn is. Its too big and unmanageable. I don't want more veg beds as I really haven't the time and OH doesn't like vegs much. I would like some raised beds to put flowers in so looking for cheap wood. I would also like to be able to sit outside in the summer without the perennial midge problem.
    Not asking for much am I :p

    Janey have you tried looking in the library for garden design books ? Or look on Amazon and then try and order any that sound interesting from the library.

    Wish I could have a few more NSDs - I blame the milk! :rolleyes: And the cost of electricity. And the price of cheese. Maybe I'll try Freeganism instead of Frugalism - except I'm not a vegan. :rotfl: Janey, are you having a holiday this year? :D

    Back again, just spotted your post about the garden... you could contact local colleges and ask if they do landscape gardening courses - then ask if they have any local students who may like a project to add to their future portfolios. :)

    I own three bra's, not bought a new one in past 18 months, as I hate padded bra's and all the 32a's i find tend to be padded. Black one desperately needs replacing, but yet to find one that I am willing to pay the cost for that isn't padded. Think I will stick to DD's theory of vests are better, cause they keep more of your body warm.

    Have you tried Bravissimo Elantan? They do good combinations of back/cup size.

    I found the M+S one generous (I bought a GG as H was out of stock) and it fits really well.

    Aren't GG and H the same size?
  • Have you tried Ample Bosom they have a webpage
