move from being a slender canoe to a bargue in full sail! I visited M & S today for a fitting as I had lost the plot since weight fluctuation with illness.

I began as a lovely bud of 32A to a full blown flower of 40D!!!!!!

I've been the same size for donkeys years, someone commented on my cardigan
[which I bought 17 years ago ! }
and I am resolved to throw all my clothes out and update , before I turn into bag-lady !
I hate shopping !

Lindsey - our local Marie Cure is restocking thanks to me and suddenly dawned on me, old friend has lost weight, we like the same styles and she will pay postage. I cannot believe I had so many clothes in those wardrobes, some worn once some with stickers still on!!!!

All the evening stuff , work suits can go , since retiring I dont wear don't need,

i reckon I could fill a charity shop single handed. !!

It would be less of a wrench if they didn't all fit !

And high heels, when am I ever going to totter around again, but that said

several blacks sacks on, there doesn't appear to be any more room in the

wardrobes !

Chris I spent all my younger years wishing I had more and all my older years wishing I had less.

Know the feeling and I always liked pretty shoes! Now am limited to 1" heels! Gdau has already nicked my Italian leather boots - warned her to take care of them! Never hard on shoes and have some dating back 30 years!!!! OMG

I am the same, had two poached eggs when I was younger and would have killed for a real bosom, now I have more than enough and spare flesh everywhere else as well!

Am trying to lose some weight due to increased bp, otherwise I will have to take medication which I prefer not to do but it's so hard when my health restrictions mean I can't move fast or very energetically.

I did have my hair cut yesterday so that's a few grams off lol

I stopped wearing high heels when I met my o.h. as he was barely the same height as me barefoot and I hated feeling I towered over him, but oh how I miss wearing those shoes, flatties just aren't the same. I did wear wedges at the wedding last year so I was a bit taller on the photos but just couldn't go to a wedding in flat shoes.

Did you know that your ears and nose are the bits of you that never stop growing? I used to have such dainty ears lol

Ooooh, Liz, does that mean we all tell lies to make our noses keep growing? And we all listen to more gossip to get bigger ears.

Well I also went bra shopping today .... now I've never been a 32anything I'm sure I started at a nice moderate size for me of 36B but settled on an ample 38C.

Today I was mortified by the spanish sizing because although I knew I had crept up I had never really bothered to equate it back to the UK size.

No I am not telling but OH made me grin by saying and just think of money that some pay for a pair like that and yours are home grown <3 <3 :D

OH Uzzi - OH has to help me to dress/undress. This morning he lifted one of my new bras and said something along the lines of - if you had had them all those years ago, I would not have known what to do with myself. We both burst out laughing!
