    and my shirt keeps coming untucked. Bearing in mind I am skint should I; a) eat more to try to put the weight back on that I have lost b) attempt to puncture another hole in my belt c) buy a smaller belt d) buy smaller trousers e) get some braces (can you still buy these or do you have to rob an old person?) f) just give up on the trousers

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

      Suspenders! So trendy and so ... err sorry, images of my father in law just popped into mind, hope you find a solution. :)

      It was broke, so I fixed it.

                Yes, Togas have been out of style far too long :) Toga! Toga! Toga!

                And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
                "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

                And I smiled and was happy
                And it came worse.

                  I am (or was when the trousers fitted me) 19 and a half stone. I'm not sure lycra is that stretchy, and it is certainly not what anyone, male or female, wants to see me in.

                                I did the Atkins a number of years ago. Bacon and gin were both good to go on that, so I cannot see how this is going to help me fill out my trousers again. I tended not to eat that much bacon whilst actually on the diet, pork chops on the other hand, usually with a poached egg atop. What a wonderful breakfast.

                                      and my shirt keeps coming untucked. Bearing in mind I am skint should I; a) eat more to try to put the weight back on that I have lost b) attempt to puncture another hole in my belt c) buy a smaller belt d) buy smaller trousers e) get some braces (can you still buy these or do you have to rob an old person?) f) just give up on the trousers
