h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

i remember the eight track..... not that we had a car then... but friends and neighbours did, yeah the tunes went on for ages...

i also remember the reel to reel tape recorders, i had one of them many many moons ago...

i see the noddin' has made a come back....

Yea! PM the nodding got a boost when Churchill used it in their advert for car insurance

I used to have a reel to reel recorder as well, but went for the new cassettes when they came out, as it took up less space in my locker.I was in the Navy at the time

I kept my Eight Track inside my glove box of my car, as one tape would play for yonks, and it was out of sight from car thiefs
Smudger.

think it must be old age smudger, everything is shrinkin' in size.......
bout that.......

Well, everything except my waistline!

UG

aye, and mine too U/G..... lol.... i never looked this pregnant when i was.....

hope you are well luv.....xxx

hi all..UG,you're lucky.i don't have a waistline anymore


sheryl,i know the feeling well i've been tempted by maternity looking tops for a while now...they look sooooo as if they'd suit me better than my regular tee -shirts and blouses,and thank heavens for s-t-r-e-t-c-h jeans!!As for the shrinkingwhat can i say???????

best no to say owt sal... lol... morning luv...

i've given up with jeans of any kind, the waist band cuts into me.... everything is elasticated these days.... i live in stretchy jog pants....
the maternity tops sound a good idea luv.... bring back the smock tops, now they were comfy to wear, used to have them back in the 70's...

hi sheryl..i bet i sound like an advert now,but i have my favourite shopping places,and tend to stick to them.george, from asda.do brilliant stretch jeans ,the're really comfortable,and not expensive either.i get my tops from littlewoods extra,or asda again.If we get the chance to go to meaowhall then i go to bon marche,i know,it,it sounds like an older ladies shop,but it isn't when you have a look round,,and they all DO BIG SIZES,

funny you should mention george at asda sal.... i treated myself to 2 strappy sun vests yesterday, (in the hope we might get some sun... lol) £3 for the pair (2 pack)... i also got shannon 2 tops and 2 pairs of shorts, £6-50 the lot... they do have some good stuff in there.. treated hubby to a hooded zip-up top too....
i don't really have any favourite clothes shops as such, just buy things when summat catches me eye... i look for the bargains, cheap n cheerful....

HI, ALL i hate shopping for clothes (size22/24 if i do need anything i wait till i go to liverpool and go the yes shop in the bootle strand it's too dear to shop at evans and etams etc give up on style go for comfort now xd

Hi all.

Im now down to a size 20 from 24,not on diet,just watching what i eat,well suppose it is kind of diet really,but have what i fancy...Bon Marche is ok got some real nice modern clothes i use Littlewoods too,my daughter(size20) love Asda ,Jeans are great and cheap,love the cropped ones well full length on me LOL

xxxSan

evening folks....

doris, we have a yes store here in leigh, i've had some good cheap stuff over the past couple of years from there....
i go for comfort too, never been big on fashion trends really....

san, my cropped pants aren't really that short either....
just got another pair off the market today with a matchin' vest top....
i'm all spent up......

size 22-24?? is that all???


you are all lucky, im larger than that and i struggle to find cheap clothes. i tend to go to catalogue shops or evans, if im in the money.

ive never been fashion concious and usually take a liking to things when they are out of date.

Hi Folks, Mk2 is having probs with clothes fitting as well these days
She is on Steroids" as part of her medication, which has made her a LOT bigger She seems to buy a lot of stuff from George at ASDA then give it w away to some of her sisters a month later

I was going to get her a track suit, for her jogging, but couldnt get one in her size
Smudger,

smudger..... you'll be suprised at just wot a large size you can get a joggin' suit these days.... lots of us ladies find them comfy, and they're also refered to as a leisure suit.... not just for exercise..... thank the gods....

Hi PM, I was having a as we just bought Mk2 one of those elecrtic scooters! and I was wondering how the hell I was going to keep up with her

Now she is waiting for the weather to improve so she can got out and use it

Mean while, I use it for popping round to the shopsJust to keep the battery alive, you know
Smudger,

smudger.

have you seen or heard of the ambrose wilson group of catalogues?.

i use the oxendales one and they have many things that are large and comfortable

Hi Serenity, (just popped in from the party) Yea! Mk2 has found a few places where she can buy clothes from.
Its really as the weight she has gained is in all the wrong places?????

Still she has plenty of gear, (so do all her sisters now)

We were having a earlier, coz we reckon that by the time they install our new Walk in shower, my case will probably be settled, and we will be moving any way

Cant wait to, get of here
Smudger,

smudger.... ..
i know you were jokin' luv.... i joke about my jog pants, they're bone idle, won't jog to the washing mashine or owt.... think they're faulty......

but on a serious note, the jog pants are quite comfy as they stretch with you and many have the drawstring waist, so you can draw in or let out at your own wotsit.... lol....


if your keepin' the battery up n runnin' see if helen wants anything from the offy before they shut....... ooooops, wrong thread...... lol....

Hi PM, Just remembered this one, I used to wear a pair of "bright yellow" trackies, with Teddy bears on them, under my squad suit in the ambulance service

Well one night we got a messy job, and I never had my spare suit in my locker Had to sit there in my trackies, praying to God that we never got another shout till my suit had dried

Yep! you got it we got another call............
Smudger.
