Quote of the week

Bucharest on the potentially perilous pitfalls of pregnancy: "You get so used to grown men whose first names you don't know shuftying about up your nethers that you have to chant to yourself, like a mantra, in the dentist's waiting room, "Don't take your pants off, it's just teeth this time."

Recipe of the week

Am I right in thinking that low-cut knickers make your tummy look big? (8 posts)

M&S Body range boyshorts are lovely and comfy and cover a bit of the tummy bulge!

If I buy a size bigger the bum's too big (my derriere is very flat} SO big pants in a smaller size works for me

Or is it just mine?

My "normal" boring M&S plain white knickers look ok but my semi-shorty style elle mcpherson ones just seem to emphasise my tummy.

Am I imagining this?

I don't actually have much of a tummy, am size 10 but obviously after 2 kids and no time for sit-ups there is a bit of overhang.

Want to buy some new comfortable knickers but fear may just have to stick to boring 6 white 6 packs of 'briefs'.

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
