How would we recognise you?

Options
I was thinking today how many of us pass each other in the street and don't even realise it? I then started wondering if any of us would ever know or realise.

Today I saw a man pick up a coin from the street and I wondered if he might go home and use it for his sealed jar challenge or if he might be updating his sig later for the money you find in the street challenge!!!!!!

Just for fun what things might make us recognise you? Can be old style or not I'll start it off...

I would be recognised by the gaggle of kids trailing behind all talking at once, you would know it was me because I'd be scrabbling about in my enormous bag looking for either my keys, my purse or my phone. I would probably be wearing my sheepskin boots even in summer and I would definitely have a thermos and a bag of snacks for the kids under the pram because I hate buying out!!!!

    somebody should create a little pin badge that we can buy if we want too, and the money gets donated to charity. lol, maybe that is going a little far but it would be a laugh.

    I'm the nutter either reading food magazines/[STRIKE]boring[/STRIKE] talking to people about it and new ways of cooking it or pouring over the spice/speciality ingredients and licking fancy kitchen gadgets in kitchen shops :hello:

    I live in my kitchen so much so that my five year old daughter has started taking my recipe books/magazines to bed for bedtime 'reading' :rotfl::D

    I am the blonde walking around looking dazed and probably turning round going back the way I came as I had forgotten to go to the one place I set out to go to. I can often be spotted in cycle helmet too! Like Miecherox I am nearly always in boots, my teenagers think I wear them to bed. I dont though.

    You can tell me a mile off because I wobble like a weeble - remember those?
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Oh yes I remember weebles..Used to love them!

    I"m the slightly round, short, fruitcake you'll see in her front garden, sitting in the middle of a veggie patch with a big cup of Latte Machiato, watching the plants grow and smiling dreamily. Or dragging old bits of wood down the street to my garden to be chopped up for the fire.

    out and about I'm the one who wraps and transports fruit/veg in those netbags they intended for washing delicates in...:D

    And on public transport I'll be the one knitting colorful socks..
