ok i know no-one cares about the prospect of me getting varicose veins and indeed, why should they?
but if anyone knows where to get halfway decent opaque support tights I'd be very grateful!

A friend of mine swears by these - not actually support tights but are meant to be supportive! At £25 a pop they would need to be quite special!!

Tightsplease.co.uk do some maternity ones (look under Specialist Tights), as do Figleaves, and Blooming Marvellous have got a good range, from the high-end Spanx support tights to the more affordable Emma Jane ones. Hope that helps!
