thanks kiya. (I'm in NZ btw). No, I can't wear them in the house because I hate my daughters looking at them. I do let them see the scars now, because I felt so guilty hiding myself from them. They don't even bother asking me about the scars now- they must've got sick of the 'nothing much/it doesn't matter' replies lol. I thought i'd try the clothes on tonight, just for the sheer hell of it, then maybe save 1 or 2 "for a rainy day"!!! Hope you warm enuf where you are!
