I have just been and done a swoop of the store (a £69.50 kind of swoop)

and I got 3 skirts, black with grey trim, grey with embroidery and a brown linen one

great to wear to work/park/school run whatever

just look out for hatchet-faced woman wielding prams when you go

suzywong · 01/05/2008 15:05

ohhh, wait til you get to a Target store.... or a Sussangrae

Lucycat · 01/05/2008 15:06

What kind of length are they? I'm about the same height as you and I struggle with the old 'what length should this be as it looks a bit odd'?

and quelle price?

hey suze, I have been looking at property in Oz and wish to know:

WHY DO THEY BOTHER HAVING GRASS?

all the 'lawns' are patchy and crap

fgs put in some flags or summat

capp - you must have one nearby surely?

true, OO, I think having a lawn is the height of arrogance and wastefulness. We don't have one.

Oliveoil · 01/05/2008 15:08

mine are kind of to my knee

I didn't try them on so they may all go back as sometimes I am a 10, sometimes a 12

they were all around £6/£8

vests were £1.50 (I got 3)

honestly they all look crap, you can see where the turf ends, all yellow and forlorn

MrsMattie · 01/05/2008 15:54

I shall be gracing the Oxford St Primani tomorrow. I am a brave woman. Do you know if they do maternity gear?

alittlebitshy · 01/05/2008 15:55

grr - of course they've got lovely stuff in. I'm 6 months pregnant and won't be needing actual proper non elaphantine summer clothes til August - when no doubt they'll be selling winter stuff. Grr.

I'll need to stock up on the Primark before I depart for Oz in June. And Matalan. And TK Maxx. And New Look. And George @ Asda. And Florence and Fred and Cherokee @ Tesco.

Oliveoil · 01/05/2008 20:51
