Thanks for suggestions - hadn't thought of the Babies & Kids market, and we're north, so Joondalup isn't far at all. I haven't checked out ebay for a while so I had another look and there are quite a lot of bulk items, not too expensive, so I might just have a go at that too. I'll check out Pumpkin Patch's website - I've heard their pants are quite good and I need just one or two to get me through (after all, I only need to not look like a hobo when I'm going out!)

Bun - thanks so much for the offer, I'll probably take you up on it! Let me know when you're over and I'll pm you my number; would be good to catch up anyway

I'm size 12ish, or Medium size, usually.

Thanks again.
