Looking for as huge a t-shirt as possible for Thunderthighs to use as a nightshirt.   

A long generous XXL would do at a pinch. 

Do they do XXXL?

MrMull  Well cotton traders (http://www.cottontraders.com) do up to 5XL in some ranges. They used to sell a microfleece nightshirt 

(I have 2) but don't seems to anymore. But do have a look.

Bentonbag  Thanks Mr Mull, they have an outlet at Royal Quays so I shall go and have a look there.

Mr Mull‎  Glad I could help.  Being of more generous proportions myself I know how difficult it is to find stuff.  Over 25 years ago (in Newcastle) when I was looking for clothes an 'assistant' took Anna to one side and suggested I should look at their 'short and portly range' in another store.  Plus ca change...

We've made the first jam of the year.

5.75lb blackcurrant & windfall apple (jelly) 

FifiD  Yum x

Henlady  My class used to enjoy your jams so much at break.

Dulcima  Lots of apples ripening on my tree, but not ripe yet.  Must check the blackcurrants, though!

Bentonbag  We've had a helluva June drop what with the high winds and it seemed a pity to waste them. So Fester cut them up and we boiled them in about a gallon of water then put the hand held liquidiser through and put the resulting mush inside a pillowcase. 

We boiled the blackcurrants in the juice that came out and then added sugar to make jam the usual way. I think we may have overboiled it a bit because the result is very sticky - and quite tart.

Dulcima  Have just collected 2 punnets of blackcurrants today, but apples nowhere near ready, the windfalls are tiny. But I will be making blackcurrant jam soon!

Mrs Lasagne  It’s always lovely to go out together xxx loved seeing you

Cousin Daisy  Great to hear you had a good night together. Nothing beats a good laugh. Xxx
