@Humdinger1 - had a look at that sight - wow they are pricey! - but if it's a good fit then well worth the cost. Did see that they recently had a warehouse fire so atm only way to buy them is in store.

I would also vote for that bra shop but you really do need to go instore for them to measure you, some years back I was a 32F or G with them instore measured when the week before MnS had measured me as a 38C from memory.  The B'mo ones were a lovely supportive fit until I did the lockdown gains.  At the time I thought that maybe they just had an odd sizing system but that size fit me with other brands and I finally managed to get some decent sports bras as a result.  

The skip is level filled ready for collection, there is the odd gap that we could squeeze more into but I am too tired to do any more tonight.  If they turn up at 8am to collect it then so be it.

@debtfreewannabe321 - I was told today that apparently if you tell the skip company you want to put plaster stuff in they may allow it as long as it is bagged together on top and marked as such.  It just can't be mixed in with general waste.

Oh that's good to know! We have a tonne of concrete and old kitchen to dispose of and some plaster...so a skip would be better than trying to dispose of it all in our car 😆.

I (of the big norks variety) check on Vinted for new bras - never normally pay more than a tenner for them

So how are the new knickers?! You can't leave us on lacy tenterhooks 😁

Oh redo, you are doing such an amazing job of clearing things that are no longer needed. It’s so emotional, but your bravery will serve future you well. I am mightily jealous of you having too big smalls 😁 I need to shrink out of mine before replacing them…although they are tired, but comfy….a little like me 😬

Yes, Bmo is pricey but they work and make everything else fit and hang better.  Did go in to be measured...totally different size from MnS.  I'm lovingly hand-washing them! Onwards and upwards love Humdinger xx

Bmo bras also last longer in my experience...so on a 'cost per wear' basis, not as expensive as they first seem...

another vote for getting properly measured by someone who really knows what they're doing and will fit you in the right size regardless of whether it's a popular size or not!
