Piercing people, help please!

I am going to start stretching my ear lobe and would like to know what sizes to go up in. I don't wanna go up to anything too big perhaps 4-6mm. I have a normal surgical steel hoop in atm, so what do I put in next and then after that up til the size I want? The piercing place where I live said to increase size every week. Also could you give me any sites for nice jewelery? Ta.

So if I buy a 4mm tube then decide I wanna go bigger do I have to buy a bigger ring or just put a bigger tube in?

There is the local piercing shop but they are expensive. Just seen some tubes for around the £4 mark with free p&p.

Me too. What happens if I go bigger than 18mm?
