I'm 5ft 3in, and yes I have to stand on lower shelves to get to the higher ones in shops. At home, the top kitchen cupboards have the 'hardly used' stuff, there is a little step ladder that lives in the kitchen. When my husband (6ft) and I moved in together, he dutifully put up mirrors as requested. When I came to look in one all that I could see was the very top of my head! Buying skirts and trousers is a real problem. So often I try on a mid-calf skirt only to find it's trailing on the floor. Trousers are better if the fashion is 3/4 length as these fit just right.

Wendy, I may be small but I cant wear high heels...it would look like i was always on tippy toes!!! pmsl!! Scary isnt it caz when the kids get bigger than you - mine arent yet, but 2 of them already have bigger feet (only 13 and 9!!!) Clare x

I'm vertically challenged - 5ft 1' and I often borrow other women's husbands in order to get stuff down off the top shelves in the shops! I know for a fact that those shelves are designed by men (with men in mind) as of course most men do the majority of the shopping - Not! Jacqui

I'm 5' 10' and am constantly being asked at the supermarkets to reach up to the top shelves for other customers. It's quite a good conversation starter, actually! I've always loved being tall but as a youngster I wouldn't contemplate a boyfriend who was shorter than me. Good job my husband came along - he's 6' 4'. My daughters, as you'd expect, are tall but the younger one is not as tall as the older, the older being 5' 11' and the younger 5' 8'.

5ft 9 so get stuff off shelves for people have trouble with getting trousers as well. daughter whose 14 is almost as tall as me already and has longer legs than me like a beanpole she is dx

Funny that, coz I like tall men. My hubby is 6ft1'!! I went out with a bloke who was 6ft4' when I was a teenager - must have looked really ridiculous!!!! Clare

I'm a little short a...e , 5 foot 3, always have to look around for the nicest looking tall young man in the supermarket to help me get things off the top shelf, thats my story and I am sticking to it LOL. Can't even get things out of my wall cupboards in the kitchen, often to be found with a long wooden spoon trying to reach an elusive item at the back of the cupboard. I like tall men and feel very femine next to my hubby 5ft 10 so would not want to be taller just a little thinner. Joy

Me ......... I am 5ft 4 and a half inches and please don't forget the half lol it makes me that bit taller roflmao xxxx
