I used to be 5ft 2ins but I’ve definitely shrunk. Either that or Mr Eggy has started wearing platform shoes! My youngest daughter is 5ft and a bit, I’m going to go back to back with her when she comes tomorrow.
I find Mark’s jeans very variable. I have a perfect pair of dark denim, 12 short, mid rise, skinny. Grabbed a black pair a while later, didn’t try them on, after a few hours of wear they hung down in the crotch area and the knees were baggy! After quite a few washes they’ve tightened up a bit but I hardly wear them as they still don’t feel right.
I’m the same, it’s frustrating isn’t it? I wear clothes from 10-16, I just ignore sizes now, as long as it fits. A lot of shops do vanity sizing to make us feel better about our selves but it doesn’t. Back in the day, 70s, I was 6.5 stone when I met Mr Eggy. I had to run around the shower to get wet!
I wore a size 10 in everything. I’m 10.5 stone now and can squeeze into 10 leggings but prefer a 12, 14 is usually too big. Tops 12/14 depending on shape. How does that work?
Thanks for the explanation. It was just lazy me not doing a quick search on Google, I've been meaning to look it up for ages! We are roughly the same height! I'll calculate my weight when I am a bit more awake
Sorry, important thing I left off... there are 12 inches to 1 ft. I was brought up with the old imperial measures... but am quite used to using metric now. When I make curtains I use both measures! Length in cm, width in inches! How confusing is that????Thanks for the explanation. It was just lazy me not doing a quick search on Google, I've been meaning to look it up for ages!

I found out my waist and shoe UK sizes a while ago. But as you said, for the clothes, we can never trust this in different shops, can we?
I've always been on the curvy/larger size and struggled with clothes, i never felt anything fitted nicely or was flattering. Being only 5'1" (the 1" is very important) i always felt i looked "round". When i was diagnosed T1 i'd lost so much weight i knew i looked ill but for the first time ever, i felt more confident wearing clothes. Since my weight has gone back up i'm struggling again. I don't want to go back to how i was before diagnosis as i looked so ill and unhealthy but i would like the confidence in how i look back.
Lovely! We spend a lot of time on the Isle of Harris - I'm already counting the days until I'm back there in June.
Sadly not! Although we did film him him from a long way off yesterday we think (although it could have been a stunt double!). Just waiting until the film comes out next year to see if we can see my bright turquoise jacket in the far distanceOoh that sounds exciting. Has hubby spotted Joaquin? Has he popped into the local Coop for a meal deal?
We desperately wanted to go to Harris, left it too late to get something suitable and for a decent price. The prices were absolutely shocking. I can’t go to west Scotland after May as I’m a all inclusive buffet for midges and always end up with infectious bites. Please be careful now you’re spleenless.
Oh great, another thing to think about! I love your description of being an all day buffet - I'm the same but fortunately where we are on Harris there's nearly always a breeze. We can see a small wind turbine out of our front door and we call it the midgometer! I do rent our cottage out (fully booked this year but still got space next). If you can private message me on here I'll send you a link to the website.
I'm 25 but in my case, it's not an age issue. I'm from Spain and we didn't use Imperial units there 🙂
