AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:00

a modest size 6 ill have you know

cybagel · 20/02/2010 12:01

this is gripping btw, reading you try on clothes

DecorHate · 20/02/2010 12:01

Think converse will be fine - they don't look too narrow at the ankle.

LG&T - me too regarding sizes. My size 12 L&Ls are too tight when they've just been washed. My size 14 skinnies are too wide at the waist (but I usually wear a long top so it's not obvious)

AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:01

lol you can tell i have no kids and no h and lots of proper work to do and a kitchen floor to clean then?

cybagel · 20/02/2010 12:02

yes excellent task aviodance tactics.

AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:05

when we were revising for our finals we would play hairdressers

that was the LOWEST point i think in study avoidance

cybagel · 20/02/2010 12:06

me and my mate used to listen to Simon Bates whilst revising ,waiting for 'clues' that he was gay then rush upstairs to share

AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:06

lol
what did oyu do?

largeginandtonic · 20/02/2010 12:08

I used to have L&L moons ago. Prob wouldn't get one leg in them now.

I think if a bought a 12 they would be painful for a day. I need someone to wear them for me for a few hours

I cleaned the kitchen floor yesterday. I love a clean kitchen floor. It's my favourite type of housework. That and bathroom taps. You can make them GLEAM.

AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:09

cybagel · 20/02/2010 12:10

Communcation degree. For that read- Jack of all trades master of none

AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:10

lol
that is made up isnt it?

cybagel · 20/02/2010 12:12

no, its real!

We were the first year to do the course. its changed beyond all recognition now (to someting actually useful). I did get in through clearing, you know

largeginandtonic · 20/02/2010 12:12

Why are you cleaning the kitchen floor then?

I have thought about a cleaner. What i would really like is someone to take the babies out so I can clean.

Ipod on and clean away.

largeginandtonic · 20/02/2010 12:13

You can do a surfing degree at Plymouth Uni

AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:17

bundle · 20/02/2010 12:18

what kind of blue are they?

DecorHate · 20/02/2010 12:24

Yes re l&ls being too flappy - haven't worn mine all winter but might give them a go again in the summer.

I want really tight cropped skinnies this summer. Saw an older (thin) woman wearing some last year and they looked fab with a long shirt

noddyholder · 20/02/2010 12:27

Long and lean not flappy at all great with heels and white shirt have on today and they give you a prefect bum

largeginandtonic · 20/02/2010 12:34

Am hankering after L&L now. Need a Gap shopping trip.

cybagel · 20/02/2010 12:35

AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:36

AnnArky · 20/02/2010 12:37
