I have spend the day on MN searching for jeans. I practically live in them. Last time I bought some cheap 'papaya' ones from Matalan so I recently ordered some more but the same size doesn't even fasten on me and they are much thinner than the ones I bought previously so I returned them.
I want proper denim jeans, not skinnys. I've done a search on here and a lot of people seem to recommend the Gap ones but they're out of stock in my size (16, petite or short leg) and I'm getting slightly desperate for some seeing as the ones I'm wearing have a hole in the knee and are only just holding it together in the crotch 
Happy to pay a bit more for decent quality ones but no more than £100. Need to be in stock so I can order online. I would trail round the shops but Dd1 is ill so I can't atm.
