I was the opposite - but a few years ago I went blond again, and it didn't do anything for me this time!

I want to go dark again, but it wouldn't actually save me any money as I'd still have to have it coloured to hide the gray hair!

I can remember in my late 20's being horrified to discover I was 10st 4lb - I'd love to be that now [:(]

I'm quite lucky Skip, in that I don't have that many grey hairs, but my natural colour is a dull mousey colour, so nothing to write home about.

Don't know if anyone else has heard but on the radio this morning,they said Asda are bringing out some new jeans for £12 in sizes 11,13 and 15 as when they did a survey,a lot of women said that they were between sizes...15 will be good for me as a 14 is getting a bit tight[:I]..I wonder if they will do other sizes at a later date?[:)]

How I wish I could get into any of those sizes!

I've often wondered why stores haven't done that. At the moment I'm a 16, but I've often been between sizes and had to either wear jeans that are too baggy or cut in!

I do try to go for stretchy ones - hence the reason I can get into one of my size 20's at the moment!

I'm sure you will soon Jan,you've done really well to date..[:)]

I'm a size 16 top and a 14 bottom,have to be different[:D] but I am creeping up to a 16 bottom so 15 should be just right for me..Skip,you may find that a 15 may be a good fit..

I do find sometimes though, that Asda stuff is a little snug anyway. I find the length of the trousers odd too. Normal length are way, way too long, and the short ones are fine. Same with M&S, but Evans normal length trousers are fine.

You're doing so well Jan!

Do you know when they will have the jeans in store? Hopefully they might do it for work trousers as my Asda ones in a 16 are enormous!

Trouble is now, I am finding different foods that I am able to eat comfortably - and some of them are fattening, like crisps!

I've got to be disciplined! The saving grace though is that I don't absorb all the calories from them anyway!

I agree with that about Asda,Jan...I have found in the past that some tops fit fine and others in the same size don't fit and you have to get the next size,so not too confident that a size 15 will be just that?...That's the only thing,you quite often find that the sizes vary depending on the material used and the shops they come from...the only trousers that fit me perfectly at the moment are Dorothy Perkins,size 14 in a short length[}:)]..everywhere else,they are either too long or don't fit correctly......I think they are launching them today Skip,no mention of them doing trousers yet but you never know,they may do in the future...
