Cos i blimmin' want one

I added it to my basket first morning of the sale and then dithered like a dithery thing and took it out (and spent 300 quid on other stuff).

And now that I've sent the stuff I bought for dh back I want more crap for me.

Anyone fancy selling there's?

There's a spotty one on ebay but not the stripy one I want.

Maybe I'll knit one

Maybe I should just buy a long cardigan, that's what it was right?

I've got the chocolate brown one from the winter sale and have worn it so much.

I keep looking at the aqua one each time i see it come back into stock.

I do think I should get another one.

Have gone through 100's trying to find a decent one.

I got a pink as blue sold out - it's nice. I got small and I'm 10/12 and it's fine. DH has mentioned that it's not very sexy though.

Right, I will have TWO by tomorrow as I ordered the XL and they sent me the large so they are now sending me the XL as well.

The large fits fine(but I still want the xl for comparison) and it's lovely and snug. I'm seriously going to wear it on the beach in Dorset in the morning - it just looks like a long snuggly cardigan.

I don't know how much bigger the XL is compared to the Large but I may have one available if someone wants it?

I have two now - postman just came - they are both blue fishie

There is only one inch length difference in the overall length of the cardigan, half an inch in the arms, and perhaps two inches in the front crossover bit difference. The L and the XL are pretty similar really.

I'm quite surprised how close they are in size.
