Your posting is very timely as I was starting to think about new jeans. I am still wearing the pair you advised me about. That must be 5 or 6 years ago.

If you don't mind I will ask your advice on current fashion in a few weeks when I start to think about my annual shopping trip.

I must also visit the market cafe as I have not been for many months. I don't suppose Cassie will be wearing a kilt or skilt.

yes I agree I should make a skilt and will see how much is left for other items. I didnt know about jigjag's jeans problem. I have never made mens clothes but will give the matter some thought.

Thanks, Grunger. I have no dressmaking skills whatseover, so I will be impressed with whatever you make from your length of tartan. You mentioned a waistcoat, that could be lovely.

Jigjag's jeans problem was ... choice. There seemed to be too much of it! I think the terminology threw us too - Marks and Spencer seemed to have strings of words to define the jeans. I've just had a quick look at their website and that seems to be still the case.

Jigjag, good luck with any jeans hunt - rather you than me!

Slightly reverse complaint! I've just heard Marcus Wareing say "raviolos"!

ChrisE, I decided - a few years ago - that I would never use the word 'raviolo' and also that I didn't care how it was pluralised. This was partly because ravioli was always a standby option in restaurants for my children when they were much younger - and I couldn't help but snigger at the thought of my son's face if a plate with one solitary filled pasta cushion was put down in front of him. I'm nit-picky about some things but not about ravioli/raviolo/raviolos (nor the various versions of panini...)
