see now I have wondered about this.
Actually my runnign shoes are a child's pair (size 5) - the chap in the shop said this would allow me to get a better runnign shoe for my (ahem!) small budget of £35!
But have also wondered, usually when ironing ds1's 7-8 szed T-shirts, could I get these to fit me? What about Boden girls' tops in a 13-14 size? They are much nicer than a lot of grown-up clothes imo.
Good point about "frontage" tho soupy!!
