You won’t regret your purchase. I had a v*x which was rubbish the 🦈 is brilliant. It’s the fluff/hairs it gets up as well as the dirt 😱 I like how it comes apart so easily for cleaning purposes too.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Yep - I absolutely love "Jaws 2" - and have a bit of time earmarked this weekend to go back over the front room carpet as I'm pretty certain it has plenty more grime still to shift, that said, the difference already is astonishing!
Also loving the underwear conversations - I like the Asd@ hi-leg knickers with the lace band right round the top - they fit beautifully and stay put around the cheeks - I can't be doing with slippage! That said it's been a while since I purchased so I'm only assuming they still do them! As for bras, I'm back to M&S currently as their 3 pack of those designed for those of us with more to contain are comfy, fit well and are actually reasonably priced too. I was a fan of B0ux Ave until they told me that one of their bras lasting under 6 months was reasonable - not for what they cost it flipping well isn't!
As for grief - it's such a personal thing, and there are no rules about not only how long it lasts or indeed how it is dealt with. You do you - and cope with things in the way which fits best. xx🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Jaws 2 really earned its keep with a grim dog related incident this week. I was very glad I had bought it.
PP has discovered a way into my new bathroom via the service hatch for pipe access that will be boxed in. She hasn't discovered the way out yet. She has a very loud meow when she is stuck, and of course two minutes later straight back in.
Bra situation got resolved when I tried the last expensive one on, slightly too tight underneath and I'm not filling the cups, so I tried one band up and a cup size down which fitted perfectly. Still not an easy size to find but hurrah one is sorted. Randomly under wiring seems to be just in the wrong spot for my IBS ache which is just under my ribs which makes finding them even harder. If anyone has any suggestions for places to look for remotely attractive not underwired supportive bras for the slim but well endowed form then please do share.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error.

@redofromstart - back in the days across the pond (when I was slimmer), I adored Triumph bras - personally I was a fan of the slightly padded ones as across the pond winters are cold & the insulation was needed. I've used both their underwire and non-wire ones - they last well and give good comfortable support!4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!!

🎶 Triumph has the bra for the way you are, whether you're ........🎶
oooof, rt that company name is a blast from the past! 😁
I have no advice ref bras redo - I'm grimly hanging onto my last 'nursing' bra - most comfortable bras I've ever had. Anything else has always been too small around, or too big in the front.

Why do modern bras always make the relevant bits go under your arms!!! M&S agree. Bra extenders required but that makes the straps fall off your shoulders so a thing across the back required to stop needing to hike the straps up in public.5

Bravissimo had a warehouse fire and are annoyingly offline.
I say annoyingly but it is saving me £££!7
