saying get set to steal Holly Willoughby's style. Now had it said get ready to steal Judy Dench's (insert your style icon of choice) style I might be racing down to M&S as I type. Why do they never learn?

I recently made a post (which wasn't distributed for some reason or other) when Holly W. had got the job of Dec's sidekick in I'm a Celebrity. I just wonder how she gets all these jobs. Is there nobody else able or available? As for M&S, I was given an M&S £50 voucher recently and can find nothing to spend it on.

I'm with those you are fed up of same faces everywhere HW andPS would have lost their jobs if they worked for a company they turn up for prog hungover giggle stupidly at silly things I would like to see other people being given a chance it's same as ant and Dec winning everything every year it's a big yawn .

I don't believe they were appearing hungover that day. It was an act.

Maybe they were Katy I still think they should give someone else a chance it's up to powers that be I suppose .

Harris21, I didn't get a reply at all after I offered to be a tailor's 'dummy' so that they might make better fitting trousers!

KatyK Tue 11-Sept-18 20:05:34

Yes I agree hulahoop

Why don't they make trousers for women with waists that actually fit on your waist, not the top of your hips.
I find Wallis the best fit for me now, and they fit under my bum without that saggy thing going on.

I would just love to find ANY shop that caters for me, at a reasonable price. I am 5ft tall and size 16. Sleeves cover my fingertips. Waistlines become hiplines. Even short length trousers have to be shortened. it's such a bore. How I wish that I could walk into a store, buy something and just wear it.
M & S have a Petite range in some of their larger stores, but there is a very limited range and even those are usually a poor fit, or are only available in smaller sizes.
To add to the problem, I take size 3 1/2 shoes in EE fitting, so inexpensive fashion shoes are impossible to buy, and many of the more expensive ones available are ugly.
It must be wonderful to be a 'normal' size!

I had that email, but I didn't know who she was. I expect she's a lot younger than me anyway.

The range has just been 'launched''. Some of it's quite nice (in my opinion)
