    *new chicken pie for Pigpen*

    Paid DH parking fine, I may be getting a spedding ticket though.... they changed a bit of the dual carrage way to a 50 and I didn't notice till DH was driving home.... Worst of it was, I was a-cussing someone for doing 50 in a 70.... :rotfl: Wondered why everyone was in the slow lane! Lets hope the average speed cameras at that bit don't work! Everyone says tehy don't but I guess we will find out within 6 weeks.

    DH away to collect DS1 with DS2 I am supposed to be packing a bag as we are off to the beach for some fun. But made a :coffee: instead :A

    Right off to pack that bag.

    Hev - (((hugs)))

    Can I ask you ladies a question - as you know I'm trying to loose weight and quite a bit has gone from my chest making my bras too big. Right now I can pinch about 2" deep material on the cup of the bra so what cup size do you think I would need if this one is a 42G? :o:confused::o

    Off to do some more ebay listings :wave:


    Measure around UNDER your breasts.. the shops round it down to the nearest even number.. personally I go up.. (eg.. if your chest measurement is 39 the shops go to the 38 (I'd go 40) the cup size usually drops with each chest size.. eg.. 42G would go 40FF .. I'd hazard at about 40F probably!!

    The back of the catalogue has a measuring guide.. I think they have them online too .. TRY THIS LINK

    Could you manage to get to a shop to be measured?? M&S, La Senza, Warners.. I go to a posh posh shop to be measured then go elsewhere for a cheaper bra.

    Nicki, go in and get yourself fitted properly. Debenhams now do a fitting service and have a really nice + cup size range at the moment. Then get a plunge push up. You will then instantly look like you have lost another stone!

    Vanilla hope DD feels better soon!

    I've cleared a lot of the clutter from the DR and the tea's now cooking. There's still quite a bit left to do in the DR though so we'll have to see.

    Kids have just come home as DS was asleep and DD was just having her dinner when I went across to fetch them after I finished work.

    Hiya
    I've managed two clients and a physio appointment today. I'm posting at the end of every couple of pages I read as I get easily confused....

    Chunky - it already sounds like the get off your butt chant is working but I hope you're not sitting down whilst reading this. Actually, you can sit down for three minutes and then get up and work again! Lol....'chunky does not want to sit down she wants to work, work, work ....

    Jill - it sounds like it's hard work for both of you. I think it's easier when they're away a lot as you just get used to it. Also, my children are older and can be very helpful when they feel like it!!

    Soappie - you've got mail back. I think I need retraining as an orf operation. Incidentally, do I get a good package for working for you...sick pay? benefits:rotfl: ? Worth a try :D xx

    I actually went into M&S to get measured and they put me in a 42G but that was before I lost my weight. Looks like a trip to town is in order :o I hate shopping for underwear. I can't do underwire bras (they dig in) so it makes it really difficult to get one that I like. It also looks like I'm going to have to go for a "plunge" style one as well as the ones I've got show WAY above my tops :o Why do I have to have a big chest? :mad:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
