I've spent the summer in long shorts, wearing belts as my waist diminished.

But, here in Wales, the weather's got much colder this week and I looked for a pair of jeans to wear; none in the wardrobe.

So I went to the supermarket today and dithered between a Uk size 16 and 14. I eventually bit the bullet and bought the size 14.
When I got them home, I laughed and said to hub, 'I wonder how long it will actually be before I can wear them.'
But I tried them on, did them up, et voila, I'm now comfortably in size 14!

They were only £7, so I'm going back tomorrow to buy a couple more pairs (in 14!).

Delighed of Wales, here!

Don't buy too many pairs Penny, you'll be in a size 12 before you know it

Well Done Pennyforthem you must have felt marvelous
But be careful about stock pilling as Sian says won't be long before you get into 12 Fantastic. Sue

Congrats, but I agree with SianS hold off on buying some more. I was happy to get back into size 12 then amazed to get into a 10 and now they are languishing in my cupboard and I fit very comfortably in size 8 where I intend to stay

I have a lovely skirt which was too small during summer 2012, and too big during summer 2013. Feels more like thermal weather here now though brr

That's great news. What a pleasant discovery.

Don't you just love it when that happens!
