The boards do seem to be generally quiet at the moment. People on hols maybe and Sunday people are entertaining or off out with family.

We had to go into town as yesterday I bought a pair of M&S Classic 'posh' (their word) jeans in my usual size. I have got a pair of trousers on today in that size. Had to go and change them for a size smaller :-D :-D :-D

AnnonGlos - M&Ssizes are very unpredictable at the moment, dependingon which of their "ranges" you choose. I find I need a size smaller in some, and a size bigger in others! Now, I always carry a tape measure when I go shopping for clothes, and a list of measurements that I know will fit. :-) :-)

Coooeee Gin and everyone :-D

Well done for starting this off this morning. Been a bit quiet everywhere by the looks of it.

I love M&S sizes as I usually have to go smaller than normal ;-)

Hi, Barb! :-D

I think everyone has gone to join Mersey down on the Farm! I bet she's putting Errol through his paces as we speak! :-D :-D

Now, Barb, I seem to remember from your avatar photo (not yet reinstated :-| ) that you are pretty slim, so there can't be much smaller sizes in the store! :-D :-D

Hi Barb :-D

:-D :-D

M&S seem to have done an about turn! They used to be generous in their sizes :-D but them they went all scimpy :-( either that or I put on weight :-( but now they seem to be generous again :-D :-D or have I lost weight :-D :-D

May I politely redirect you to your bathroom scales, Londonbelle? Though, if they are anything like mine, they tell big lies! :-D :-D ;-)

LondonBelle

I know what you mean, GiN :-D you can set them just so ;-)

I must admit the Doctors scales can be a bit scary :-S :-S

Hello Londonbelle

The last pair of crops and shorts I bought a little while back were Per Una and I bought a size smaller.
Some of M&S crops made me look like I had a pair of jodhpurs on :-D

GinN

Some of M&S crops fit me as long pants! :-D :-D
