Thought I was just being daft, but it's reassuring to know I'm not on my own! It looks like I shouldn't have much problems buying tops, but I did struggle trying to find trousers that fit! I love my Next jeans, but all the shops I looked at seem to be for skinny hips? Am I just looking in the wrong places? Otherwise, I think I'm going to have to resort to Mum's mail order service.
Oh and for the chocoholics amongst you, I have found a few shops specialising in British chocolates and other British products including thorntons chocolates and even M&S organic tea bags!!!
I suppose I should add that the only other thing that I am struggling to find an equal to is bacon, any ideas where I can get British/Danish cured bacon? I suppose at least it will be something to enjoy when visiting the family.
