Opticians' special offers change bloody hourly. Anyway, today I tried a new optician and got much cheaper glasses than my previous n pairs. These ones are gain a flexible frame with light-sensitive lenses and anti-glare and scratch-resistant coating. So what's different? Ladies' frames are all too big for my face and these are CHILD frames. HELLO I AM GOING MAD HERE.

I am not a child. I seem to be a fairly normal sized person, when I look around me. But I wear child sized clothes and eyeglasses, can't cycle most adult ladies' size bikes, need child kit for hiking, camping, etc - it's getting irritating.

I know plenty of people smaller than I am, too, in every direction.

I have the same problem as you do with trousers, but with dresses. Nothing I can get on the high street fits AT ALL, so if I really want a dress (say for a special occasion) I have to buy a super expensive one AND THEN TAILOR IT TO FIT.

Oh and also rings. I can't find any adult sized rings to fit me. It's either Barbie-themed jewellery for me, or having rings and bracelets taken in.

And have I mentioned that I'm exactly, precisely and in every respect a shoe size that is not made by any manufacturer in the known universe? I don't mean I'm a 4.5, or a 5 narrow, or a 3 extra wide. I have internally consistent, beautifully proportioned feet that seem to be somewhere between four-and-a-quarter and one-third-to-five.

Mass production, feh.

My office-appropriate doc martens are the first 'respectable' and comfortable shoes I have owned in years and years (since I was at school probably). They are of course men's shoes ...

The only grown up watch I've ever had that fit me has a spring bracelet - no strap at all, just two springy bands that partially overlap and can easily fir everything from a tiny to a pretty thick wrist.

Before that I wore ring watches for years and years, because I couldn't get a wristwatch to fit that wasn't from the Disney store.
