I do quite well at Hotter too, although usually with their more 'grannyish' styles! There's a shoe discount store near us that sells Rieker & a couple of other brands that suit me too.

If, like me and a million others, you have multiple 'foot issues' and need to wear an orthotic in your shoes, there's not a lot of choice in the matter. I can't wear heels above about 1.5 inches, have to have a roomy toe box, nothing too flexible, and some form of fastening to keep it on the...

Memory foam is comfortable but hot. Very, very hot. It retains all your body heat, which can be lovely when you get up for a freezing nocturnal loo visit on a cold night, but it was hopeless for menopausal me!

It sold out fast enough - obviously nobody cares what we think!

I tried Hairfix products when they had a TSV a few years ago, but found it no better than anything else. Also, they rather cheekily changed the formulation of the products to a 'pre-foamed' format, which basically meant they diluted it massively but still sell it at the same price - less...

With these particular jeans I'd say go down a size. I'm a size 18 and wear the Large. Also be aware that the fabric is not denim, it's a thick stretchy knit fabric that looks like denim but is much more comfortable and has a lot more 'give'.

I agree, I wore two pairs out eventually, it took some doing! I still have one black pair that's in good condition. My previous ones had a rhinestone design on the back pockets, oft admired and favourably commented on, but would sometimes catch on throws and cushions. The ones I bought this...

I actually love QF's Dream Jeannes, they are the comfiest jeans ever. I hadn't seen that QF had been on, and just had a quick look on the website at the programmes from yesterday. Ordered myself a new pair in Royal Blue for the summer, thanks for heads up brissles!

A word in support of the handheld. It probably depends on what sort of flooring you have. We have hard flooring throughout our ground floor, and a very muddy, hairy Spaniel who sheds hair as though it were an Olympic sport. It gathers into large balls of hairy tumbleweed, and wafts about...

What a load of bollox! This is a blatant copy of his previous brand, even the packaging is similar. The Himalayas tripe is another fairy story, just like canoeing up the Amazon looking for the peeps with the beautiful hair. He must think we were born yesterday!

I looked into these last year when they had a TSV. None of them get very good reviews and a lot of people complain that they fail shortly out of guarantee and can't be repaired.

My mum was a big fan of plastic flowers (and fruit, and strings of plastic onions in the kitchen!). In fact, my first pet, a white guinea pig with pink eyes, died after ingesting a bunch of mum's plastic daisies whilst I cleaned out his hutch. I like some of the fake silk flowers these days...

It doesn't seem to be flying out! :mysmilie_19:

Plus size model should have gone up a size. Colours look a bit autumnal, to say the sun's only just come out this week. And as already said, overpriced, sweaty poly top is a very similar shape to the Halston TSV a few days ago.

I've got some, they're very handy for keeping in the car for days when the sun unexpectedly appears - not that it happens very often, but I can't drive if I'm dazzled.

It's because the manufacturers just grade up a standard 'block' by adding, say, half an inch all round for each size increment. Well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that you soon get a disproportionate size of neckline, shoulder and armhole with that formula, and the apex (bust...

I made myself a very similar top yesterday. (The first time I've sewed anything since I got the almost pup two years ago!) Mine has a crew neckline though, and is a nice patterned jersey from deep in my fabric stash. Took me about 90 mins from deciding on and cutting out the pattern, and did not...

Maybe it's a One Time Only :mysmilie_17:

I don't mind Velcro, but I do need either an ankle or a heel strap. If these hadn't been 'sliders' I might have bought a pair, as I do rate the Vionic footbed in terms of support and comfort. These would just fly off when I walked in them though. I agree that the brand does seem to have got...

Rhubarb and Rose seems to have taken the place of Heavenly Gingerlily, it's in every bleedin' TSV these days.
