sympathise with you dee ... i hate shopping for clothes ... thighs my problem bloody saddlebags more like ... so got to wear separates and i maybe a senior citezen but am damned if going to look like one ... i want to age disgracefully lol will look at ebay .... mmmmm u got me thinking of that bottle of wine in my fridge lol xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh WOW....I am getting a boob job.....:-) Sorry Dee I am lowering the tone as usual :-( XX

Lilo Lemon !!! lolol

Seems I'm not the only one then, which is a relief Perhaps I should venture on to e bay Years ago I went to a 'designer' second hand shop. The prices were high but I came home with some really classy things, that actually fitted. (mind you I was younger and slimmer then as well) ;-(

Dee Start off by trying this guide from Trinny & Sues 'What not to wear' .......... it might help (oh by the way new series to be presented by Lisa Butcher ?? and Mica Paris mmm ). http://www*bbc*co*uk/lifestyle/tv_and_radio/what_not_to_wear/whattowear_index.shtml It will give you a few ideas what to be looking for - and then - take me up on my offer to come with you sometime :O)))

Lemon, no probs ;-)) Perhaps we should have a GR meet at Bluewater, and hit the shops ;-))

Kaz!!! think Lem should change her name!!!??? pmsl

Dee think yourself lucky, at least there is something you can do about your shape if you are so inclined. try being 5' 2' and buying skirts! they either clean the floor as i go, or look like belts! Bev

*nabs Bev's belt to show off my legs better on my thread*

Hi Bev I think I ought to get a good old fashioned corset, it might 'hold it all in' Dee ;-))

Don't worry Dee - been to both Bluewater and Lakeside and come back with nothing in the past....... My best place seems to be Marks and Spencer and there is nothing wrong with being 'ample' and who wants to be a size 10 anyway.... Love the idea of a Bluewater meet though - we could all help each other - god knows what we would come back with lol Lynda x

Problem with a corset Dee is it just holds it in, then moves it somewhere else! Maggy

corsets are all very well if you have learnt to stop breathing!!! plus the fact i have jilly's prob if i wear a basque/corset there is more of my bust out than in!!! Bev

A Bluewater meet sounds good to me - it's only 10 minutes away from me!! It's sods law though isn't it, when you go out looking for clothes you can never find anything but when you have no money to buy anything you see loads of things you like. Sue x

dee take comfort in the fact i feel same went retail therapy yesterday saw skirt for work ages ago in new look, still had it in sale, 7 quid got it, brought it home, too small, couldnt even do zip up and i confess i got stuck in a size 12 dress in asda, last week yet a different style dress same size too big, its the makers i blame for making/adding to us depressed havent dared try on the tops i got probably look like mutton tryin to be lamb lmao

Size 12 Julie Anne, I wish!!

O.k. who's up for a Bluewater meet then.........could be a laugh... Lynda x

What about them Magic knickers, Dee? I'm gonna get some of those too! Can lend you Susie and Trinny's book if you like! Anna x
