How would we recognise you?

Easy - I'm the blonde one in the supermarket, in the crisps aisle, staring at the S&V crisps for at least 5 minutes whilst I argue with myself (in my head) about whether or not to buy any! And then repeat in the choc/sweets aisle.

I also never seem to follow a pattern when walking around the supermarket. Get one thing, wander off to another area, then realise the other thing I need is back where I just came from. Probably with headphones in too, well one in the left ear anyway.

I'm the one wearing a waxed jacket that has mud splashes and chicken claw prints on the sleeves and shoulders. My fleece is permanantly covered in cat and dog hairs. Greying hair pulled back into a ponytail or bun.
I will be accompanied by a man with a receding hairline and a handlebar moustache.

If you see us in the car, we'll either be listening to goth or industrial music at high volume, or Radio4.

At the supermarket, we'll be by the reduced section, or scrutinising SEL's with shopping list in hand. You can often find us at farmers markets and food festivals.

Ditto. Nearly every time I go to Lidl/Aldi!
I also take snacks etc everywhere as someone else said, as I can't stand paying for things like that when I'm out...

There are whole isles of the supermarket i never go, or go once or twice a year at very most. We buy fizzy drinks for mixers in summer once, and again in december if we need to. The crisp isle i never go down, not the sweets one. Unlike many osers i rarely go in the frozen isles.

It saves time, money and indecision and craving!

I usually try to avoid them, but on Tuesday night, I caught a glimpse of a blue Pringles packet and thought 'No way! They've finally brought S&V Pringles to a supermarket near me!'. So, off down the aisle I went, and stared, and argued with myself, stared some more and then walked off towards the sweets and chocolate aisle! :rotfl:

I try my best, but every now and then, they get me!!

Thankfully, on Tuesday, my willpower was stronger than my cravings! Came away with only healthy stuff and had a lovely meal of jacket potato, salad and chicken

Hopefully, never.

Ah! I may have forgotten to mention that you will quite possibly smell me before you see me. No! It's not a personal freshness problem, but having nothing to offer my public in the looks department I think that the very least I can do is to be as fragrant as possible. And sometimes I overdo it.

There may be a queue of worried looking people lined up to ask me if I feel OK, I look so tired.
Sadly the dark circles and bags under my eyes are permanent features and indicate nothing worse than a poor gene pool.

What absolutely gorgeous people there are here. I'm willing to bet that we would get on like the proverbial HOF if we all met.

Snap Although I AM always tired, I was born with the dark circles!

I'm always tired too but don't like to admit it. My dear old Mum reckoned I was born tired. The only child she ever knew who asked to go to bed! Wonder what it would be like to be one of those people who actually get on with things without having to force themselves to move. Glad I'm not the only one.
