SuSylvester · 08/05/2010 16:37

NomDePlume · 08/05/2010 16:37

I know because I lost my original wedding ring about 12mo ago and bought another one to replace it. Don't know size of other fingers

NomDePlume · 08/05/2010 16:40

my waist is still disappointing, was hoping for slimmer but hey-ho. Hips haven't changed but arse has shrunk.

smallishsheep · 08/05/2010 16:42

hmm, 6 inch wrists, 8 inch ankles and 14 inch knees here too. Have never measured my knees.
I do have the most ugly ankles known to man. I will take my cankles to my grave. I had thought weight loss would give me elegant sculpted ankles. I was wrong. It appears the genes win out yet again.
I swear, when the Tony Robinson of the future digs me up they will ponder why modern man needed such thick ankles, and theorise it was all the driving or somesuch...

NomDePlume · 08/05/2010 16:43

8 inches are not thick ankles.....

I have 8.5 inchers and no cankles.

bobbiewickham · 08/05/2010 16:44

Wrists 17cm
Ankles 23cm
Knees 40cm

They all sound massive!

NomDePlume · 08/05/2010 16:44

in inches they aren't bobbie

smallishsheep · 08/05/2010 16:45

It's the way they're built ndp. They don't have that lovely thin bit down the middle. They are round

smallishsheep · 08/05/2010 16:48

Hmm, in a bid to google image you an example of a sexy ankle as compared to my ones, this is the best that google can do
If that's sexy I'm worrying about nothing

smallishsheep · 08/05/2010 16:48

And I don't believe Su would approve of the skin on that heel

bobbiewickham · 08/05/2010 16:48

9 inch ankles
6.6 inch wrists

Am built sturdily.

NomDePlume · 08/05/2010 16:49

Nice duvet cover.

And hard skin

JackBauer · 08/05/2010 16:50

fgs, I bugger off to make tea and you all get competitive.
If I get demoralised about my measurements I am goig to be pissed y'all

Wrists 6.5
Ankles 9
Knees 17

You fuckers.

9 inches is not cankles, my ankles are nice, nicer than my fricking legs anyway.

SuSylvester · 08/05/2010 16:51

hmm my feet are getting better

NomDePlume · 08/05/2010 16:51

I'm not doing my knees. I'd have to take my jeans off or at least pull them down (thanks G again we're not on webcam) and it's way too cold in here for that

NomDePlume · 08/05/2010 16:53

DH is cooking tonight.

What colour nail varnish are we sporting on our toes this week ?

I'm wearing an old (about 5yrs old) Boots No7 one. A metallic electric pruple. It was done in haste last Sat night when we had people over and I realised I'd be barefooted

bobbiewickham · 08/05/2010 16:54

My knees are 14 inches, I think.

Ooh, Jack, our wrists and ankles are the same!

Wanna start a gang?

JackBauer · 08/05/2010 16:58

yeah, we can share and swap bracelets and um..well I don't wear anklets but boots? maybe?

We could be called TANC!

bobbiewickham · 08/05/2010 17:03

We could be Tancles!

I'm liking it!

We could have sweatbands made!

You could crochet them!

I'm getting over excited!

Look at all the exclamation marks!!
