What a lovely offer
Same as before for me, if you can possibly stuff an Asda and George in your suitcase that would be great

It's funny... the longer we are here, the less items come to mind when we are asked "what can I bring you from the UK?"

OH MY! Are we integrating!!! LOL

I keep wondering if I can risk asking my mum to send me some over but I just know she'll get the sizing wrong and send me 'big' knickers
She just won't get me when I tell her what I want and I'll end up with nana knickers

That's a lovely offer but I just couldn't take advantage of you like that. Just make sure you supply yourself with about five years worth of M&S knickers cos you won't get anything like over here

I don't get this underwear thing - i've found loads of fab stuff, and not expensive either! farmers stock Bendons, (or is it Bredons?!) which is just as good as m&s in my opinion.... I guess i can only speak for my size and shape though!

But just to say to anyone worried that you might LIKE the underwear here

I can't find any nice comfy strings in Farmers not like the ones at M&S so my quest for M&S quality knickers continues
