And one M&S bra will last longer than the six primark ones. :?
They are not true sizes and I'd advise people to try them on first. My sister bought one and when she got home and put it on she looked like she had 4 boobs as they were bulging out the top :shock: :lol:

I partly agree with you about sizes, some of the 'prettier' bras for 'fuller figures' look smaller than the true size, but the T Shirt bras are bang on.

I'm a 34E in a M&S one - and all 4 Primark 34Es that I bought fit me perfectly.

On the subject of longevity, time alone will tell.

I've just returned from Primark....

Spent £150 :oops: :oops: :oops:

Got some fantastic bargains, and I do agree with everyone on here about sizes, but I just try everything on in the shop! (Except knickers and swim wear obviously)

I'm gonna pack later on, just 2 weeks and 6 days :D

Jeez, did you have help carrying the bags. :lol: :lol:

I'm a DD so Primark is no good for me.

I've just finished packing my case and the bairns for Saturday, the OH does his own that way if he forgets anything, I'm not to blame :rofl

Have just come back from Primark in Manchester which I must admit I would not normally visit - usually pay more for the quality, however I had time to kill while waiting for my sister to finish work and had arranged to meet her near there.
Must admit I came out with a brown paper bag and a few bargains which I am very pleased with, I got a lovely white atmosphere gathered cotton skirt for £8, a pink cotton puffed sleeve cardi , ideal for travelling in for £6 , 2 x pairs of lovely thin strapped elegant flip flops which are ok for evening wear for £6 each and a pair of backless closed toe mock crocodile flats which I may wear for the plane for £6 , so not a bad shop and they all seem reasonable quality :)

I never saw the crocs... wasn't gonna buy them but always wanted to know how comfy they are!

Yes, I spent £150, dying to get up to £200 just to prove that it is possible!

I find Primark's bra sizes a bit bizzare, I'm also a D/DD for some bras (normally the sets) I can get a C! Today I had a look at the fuller figure bras and it looked like I'd need to combine the two cups to fit one in! [/code]

sorry dramaqueen, should have explained better not mock crocs but mock crocodile skin backless slipper type shoes , they are lovely, how long did it take you to spend £150?
I liked the crinkley dresses for the beach but didn't get one as ended up in a hurry , might go back next week :)

:lol: The most I've ever managed was just over £100 - took me all morning and I had to stop because I needed the loo and my tummy was growling for lunch :lol:

Dramaqueen, I want to go shopping with you :lol: £150 you could probably buy one of everything for that :!:
I do agree that with some things the quality isnt amazing but I have bought some lovely bits for my daughter.

I love it am going to have to look out for the bigger bras :oops: didnt realise they did those.

lol, it took longer for everything to go through the till!

I think we could all arrange a HT shopping spree! But up north, we have proper bags 8)

I'm now on strict restriction against shopping :cry: still need some comfy shoes (I don't do sensible shoes but after day one I'm crying coz my feet hurt) and a few little bits!

Happy holiday shopping everyone! 8)

Hi Calabona girl,
We go to Benidorm on Saturday, will be in the airport from 6pm as we fly 8.15. I live in Durham, Newcastle is closer than Durham Tees. and yes, the Metro centre is my second home, shop til i drop :lol:
Enjoy your holiday.

CazzMicknTom, hope I don't see you at the airport as we should be away by 2.30. Enjoy Beni!! !I have had a few good hols in Benidorm lbut we like it a bit quieter these days. CBG

Thanks for that. We like Beni as there is plenty for Tom to do but heading for Cyprus next year (5 years in a row to Beni is a lot).
Enjoy your holiday. :lol: :lol:

Hi,
went to the new Primark in Swansea on Sunday. Fancied loads but when I tried them on was only happy with 2 items. I'm sooo fussy :oops: Bought a lovely purple vest style top and a pair of aqua/mint linen shorts. Hubby was much luckier (not fussy at all :lol: ). He bought 2 seersucker tunic style shirts, a pair of linen trousers, three quarter shorts, 3 casual vests and a pair of swim shorts. Hopefully (together with what he's already got) he's sorted for our hol to Mexico in 63 days time.
