    They can have all the ones that don't fit anymore. When u have to use toupee tape to stay in your bra it's time to buy a bigger one!!! Will have 2 start going to upholsterers for mine if they get much bigger...no-one's going to want to get their jollies over them then!!! Zumba's made my waist smaller and my bo.obs bigger. H2b's happy!!!

    Lol MrsClarke I have the same problem. H2b's happy, I'm not, I feel too top heavy now!
    I forgot all about this thread omg, makes you wonder who these people are who bid on a used item. My h2b buys used clothing off ebay but thankfully they are only world cup 94 football shirts.

    same prob here, only one place I can shop and have to say at 23 I think i've only bought myself 1 bra from there as they're expensive so my mum always buys them hehe! Recently had to invest in yet bigger ones so maybe i can sell my others!
    I'm looking around the house to see if there's anything I can sell now! got an xbox as we have 2 and a guitar hero guitar as have 2 of those too! some duplicate films and books since we've merged our collections. I have to be ruthless and see what I can muster up!

    I must be crazy giving myself only 6 months!

    Embbem mine are 34GG now (sorry ladies for the overshare) and the only place on the high street I can get vaguely comfy "every day bras") is la senza? Ann Summers are a bit.....much...for wearing to a classroom every day. Haha. Where do you get yours from? We could specialise when we're flogging them on bay of e to weirdos and pervs "slightly used bra from high end shop...only classy sweat in this one". Bleurgh!

    I sold my old broken necklaces, odd earrings etc at the blue and red supermarket, gold exchange on their website it was just tat but I got £111 so was chuffed. My mum sent more gold tat but weighed more and she got £774 which she desperately needed as shes only on basic pension.
    Steve sells on bay of e all the time but doesnt make anything as any profit goes to buy footbal shirts on there. ;-( I may start having a root out see what unwanted stuff I have.

    mrsclarke I'm a 30G but because of the tiny back size i can only get bravissimo stuff occasionally sparks and mencers do my size though. I'm only very little and it makes it difficult. they are not assets they're a pain in the back quite literally!
    I wonder if I have any jewellery I could sell....hmm worth a look I only have 3 pairs of earrings that I wear really. The only gold i have though is my mums engagement and wedding ring and I can't sell those
    If only I had a girl cat I could have bred and sold kittens haha. people sell them for loads these days, my kitten cost me £60 and he's only a ginger tabby nothing special.

    If the guest list goes up again I've told h2b he's selling a kidney to pay for the extra guests sicne about 75% is his family! WAY too many aunts, uncles and cousins on his side. My family's quite small because my parents are both only children!

    Will try bravissimo, as I want some really good underwear for under my dress. Don't want to be fretting about popping out of my dress!

    Oh my goodness - some people will buy anything...literally anything. Who would have thought that there would be a market for smelly old shoes? And the smellier the better it seems...the world is full of weirdos. I suppose (in most cases) it's harmless enough really. If anyone decides to flog their "well worns" though, just make sure you set up a paypal account. You wouldn't want to be giving out your address so that people with odd fetishes can send you a cheque. Seriously, be careful ladies :)

    I'm definitely just kidding about flogging mine - can't think of anyhting worse tbh! it's super creepy. I'll stick to selling tat from around the house I reckon! H2B's just had 2 pay rises in one go and his boss has put him forward for another one in december which comes with a lump sum bonus so fingers crossed he'll get it as he wants to use the money to pay off the wedding in one go which would be FAB.

    I realise most people are just joking about flogging their well worn items, but in general I'd say be very careful about handing out your address to people you don't know, and ESPECIALLY if you think there's something not really normal about the people you may be dealing with. Paypal is a great way of avoiding this.

    OMG that's horrendous! Or maybe he's just practising before coming out to his parents as a frilly-knicker wearer. I so want to believe that people use call centres as rehearsals for big speeches. I used to work for HPI and we got all sorts on the phone, some people are absolute whackjobs. Or 'specials' as my mum likes to call them.

    H2b knows i am doing it and laughs about it with me, we both agreed that i would giggle far to much to talk on the phone.
    I have a full time job so it is just for a bit extra when i am at home in the evening, to think that once im all set up i could be earning right now, have 2 internet windows open and text while i chat to you ladies lol.
    8p doesnt sound too much, but then i would expect it may add up throughout the month.
