Yesterday we went to the lovely sandy beach at West Wittering.
First time for donkeys years I wouldn't have been hiding under layer of clothes, wouldn't have felt horrendous wearing my swimsuit - what happened?
Bl**dy rained all the afternoon and I had to keep my clothes on!!!

...we're sinking deeper.
Speaking of Evans...
I remember when I was about 16 I found it. I was SO HAPPY to finally have clothes that could fit me. And this was in fact back when High Street shops did not sell anything above a 12/14 as standard.
- One thing people not on LL just don't understand... is our love/hate relationship with that shop.

- Or the fact that sometimes, we feel the need to go in there "just to have a look" even when we don't need to... habits die hard...!

Is feeling the love!
I still go into Evans and I still pick up a size 18 and go try it on, just a little reminder of what not to do again.
Another thing I do is compare, drives my poor hubby mad. We'll be in Tesco and I'll see someone and before I can say anything my hubby is saying..
"No she is not smaller than you, your bum is nicer, your legs are thiner and yes you do look better than her."
Oh yeah, and, my engagement ring is too big!! Seriously gutted about that! But in a nice way.

Minerva totally with you on the love/hate relationship with Evans. I used to be so grateful to get something to fit - even though it normally looked too old for what i felt i should be wearing. Anyway i was grateful to be able to buy something but always put my Evans bag inside a Next or M&S bag - as if somehow if people didnt see the Evans bag and just the 'normal bag' then maybe, just maybe they believed i was small enough to shop in a 'normal' shop. Who was i kidding!!!!
Linda I do that too - every single time i am out i say 'am i the size of her'. Its got to the stage with me too that b4 i open my mouth my OH or daughter respond before i say anything. It definately takes the mind a while to catch up.
