Hi lou,

I tried searching for the web site of box2.com, but it brought up a technology site. Is that the right URL please?

I used to get most of mine from eBay - just ask loads of questions before buying.

I had a bad experience with Fashion World Mail order which is the parent company for Simply Be so I won't trade with them.

I placed an order on the phone, and they always tried to sell lots of other stuff, which i declined, but they sent it anyway. I sent it back, then they said the return had gone astray and were very shirty about it, demanding payment. I sent all the receipts from the post office and got it sorted, but it was a lot of hassle for something I hadn't even ordered. It was their attitude that made me decide not to trade with them ever again.

I buy most of my clothes from Evans, because its convenient, and they have a selection in size 24 *shrugs*

Evans tops are/were okay but their trousers/jeans are sized strangely (some too big and some too small). I don't buy anything over fifteen quid unless I can try it on first.
