    So that's why there's a dearth of all cotton knickers ... all I can find is the mixed fibre ones .... rolleyes

    They sell all-cotton ones in our market, Dove.  We northerners wear sensible undies... they are "granny pants" though...

    I'm an M&S girl when it comes to underpinnings  @Liriodendron ... the ones sold on our market are usually purchased to replace damaged barrage balloons .... we have low flying military aircraft over Norfolk scared

    I think I know what you mean, Dove - distinctly generous sizing...   :o

    I always used to get cotton undies in M&S.  Have they stopped?   Not been near one for 2 years so now I buy Sloggi and the like in the better supermarkets.

    No reason @KT53 why you can't start filling your new cupboards now. Also gives you an opportunity with the doors off to see where you have put stuff so you can get it into an efficient order.

    First day back in work after a 2 week holiday :|  I hate Mondays at the best of times but to make things worse I forgot to stock up on coffee before we left so I have to face all this unstimulated!
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    You can't wear mixed fibres Dove, it's forbidden in the bible.

    They have them ... or rather there are places on the racks where they should be ... when shopping recently I found some for an older lady who couldn't find them ... they had them in her smaller size ... not in my larger one ... they were sold out ... apparently there's no demand so they don't get so many in
