OH yeah,forgot about that. Oh well.....not to worry. I shall continue my quest on Monday....

for your knocker holder

What quest?

I have to admitt defeat in reaching my quest Teresa, I have search high and low for the correct item I am failure :-((((

We have a hobbycraft here in Sheffield,and while it is brilliant for most hobbies,they don't stock much knitting yarn.

I still say that Ebay is your best bet,especially if you can't get out much,it also gives you something to look forward to in the post.

Awe TW, I have never been in a Hobbycraft, but would love to dearly. I went to the aformentioned wool shop yesterday,which is about 5 miles from here, and spent over £54. I had enough wool for three items,a pattern for a new wool, which I also bought, which Iseem to think was £6.00, the pattern I mean, some needles, a hook and a few tapestry wools for some infilling on something I am making.
Knitting and crochet are no cheap hobbies are they, though very enjoyable.

I love Hobbycraft shops, used to go to a lovely one in Basildon. There isnt' one in Norwich, so it's the market for my wools. It's a really good stall though, so now worry.

Thanks Ann of GG. I notice Derbys is missing yet again from a list of shops. I am dying for a Hobbycraft to open there, for me knitting wools. We only have one wool shop between here and Derby, and it is not cheap. Awe well I'll just have to wait.
Thanks again

Teresa W. Me trouble started when I tried to 'pull-em-up' and adjusted the straps accordingly. Before, they made me look flat chested, but large flat chested if you know what I mean. I looked a sad saggy sap, and with no contour, now I have lost well over three stone. Me clothes just hung on me. Perhaps next time, when I am in Marks, I will try a 40C, and see how I go on with it, before I buy anymore.

Oh I dont' know, the size of some manboobs these days, it could be useful to men LOL


Julia, reading on various websites, if your bra is riding up at the back then it is too big, use a smaller size. Different manufacturers have different size templates, as they do with other clothes, so it's a good idea where possible to try one on in the shop first to make sure the size fits.

38 dd in M&S will probably not fit as well as a 38dd in say La Senza, or vice versa.

shove off Merlin - this is no place for men!

Of course, you could always look on line for a suitable "Scaffolding Company" Bags of support from them, they build to size.**M**.pmsl

Ever thought of the "Naval Surplus Stores"? I,m sure they,ll have some spare "Hammocks" for sale.**M**.:o)))>.pmsl

Doreen dosn't mind one bit,she left them to me in her will,they are 87 yrs old now.

I agree with Ann, Bravissimo, all sizes and lovely designs. Take a look at them on line. According to the net there is one in London Road Norwich and one in Nottingham.

Well, I consider myself to be the norm for alot of us British women, when it comes to the bra department, 42C. However, what I make up for at the front, I lack at the back, that being not very broad. I am at present wearing a newish bra from M & S, non of which are cheap, and the back is half way up my shoulder blades, and quite uncomfortable.
This must be a nationwide problem, because I have heared it announced this morning that, on Monday morning on our local radio, this very same subject is to be discussed. If I get back in time from doing my blood tests at the local hospital, I shall listen in, and pass on, anything that may be of interest to us. Incidently, the way Annina has told us to measure, is the same way I have used for years, and used to be quite well known many moons ago.

Bravissimo is THE place for bras - shop or on line!! superb - get mine from there as I am 32JJ and can.t get them most places - not bragging by the way - sympathy I'm needing!

Ooo I forgot Ambrose Wilson. I've had some wider fitting shoes from there too. Thanks for that.


Sam, I checked all the shop sites to make sure they do that size, which apparently they do, just not in Norwich it seems, but to be honest I never thought about getting them in for me. If I have no luck on Monday I'll do that.

Bought some Asda bras a couple of years ago, very comfy to start with but the overall quality was poor, and if they didn't send the wire poking out the top of my top during a meeting *blush*, the elasticity went very quickly. I won't be getting asda bra's again lol

hi ladies try ambrose wilson mail order o/h is big gets all hers from them. they cater for all big or small.
