Love this label.

It is time the Govt. started tying up all the loopholes in this student loan scheme instead of taking transport subsidies from pensioners . It angers me when I hear of all the students driving around in flash cars, or taking overseas vacations or buying houses on student loans. This one sounds like an import- can't even speak/write English very well.

Er,....on a plus size thread?

Well actually when I posted my comment Lucky1 there was another post immediately prior to mine, on this same thread which had a link to another site telling students how easy it is to get a student loan to buy anything they liked with, including using it to get a mortgage to buy a home. It has obviously since been cleard as spam by the moderator leaving my post completely irrelevant now.

Thanks for the heads up.

Did seem a little out of place & lonely on its own,

Those of you who know me know how much I utterly hate buying clothes, but I found a lovely dealer on Trade Me who has nice stuff at a not too bad price, and not too bad designs either! I'll let you all know how the clothes wear as I use them, but thought maybe it could be another place to look at if anyone is wanting something different. (Although I can imagine us all turning up for a coffee somewhere wearing the same clothes if we all shopped there!!!)

Anyhow, have a look if you are looking for anything, the Company is called It Fitz Ltd, and the trade me link is below. The user name is Fiona74 if the link won't work, happy shoppong!

I was getting quite a few catalogues online from various stores - plus size ones I have dealt with in the past or have requested their catalogue once. . One or two of them I find very good, but then there are others who *bombard* me with weekly communications and I find that has a turn off effect on me. I then got cross with them and end up blocking them . To send out there seasonal catalogue is one thing, but to mail, again and again every week is just as bad as receiving unrequested spam from anyone.
Too much junk mail in ones letter box whether it be on line or outside your gate, is a pain. I am getting to the stage where I just do not want to give my email address to anyone any more In fact, I would rather just receive the catalogues by snail mail where I can pick it up at my own will, from time to time and flick through it with a coffee. I am far more likely to buy that way I think. How about you ?

I have only tried Trademe once, and felt a bit cheated. The advertisement said, *Can no longer pull zip up. * The garment had a zip with the tag broken off it !. I took it to mean she had got too big for the skirt. Silly me ! And then there was the matter of about 6 little safety pins in the hem. Oh, but that was OK too, according to the vendor. She had worn it like that for months, and no one else could ever tell .
