How would we recognise you?

I'm the sad woman in outdoor wear trying to keep a manic bull terrier under control and leaving a trail of biscuits and dog poo bags in my wake. Plus money off vouchers sticking out of every pocket. Practicality has finally won out over style - must be a sign of aging.

(Sad as in "look at the state of her" not as in depressed btw. My family joke I'm going to be the mad woman with the house full of pets and old newspapers in years to come.)

I'm the one offering reused carriers to strangers in the shop queue, wearing matching gloves, scarf and boots! Or chasing two scooting children down the road bellowing instructions like "stay close to the wall... THE WALL" Or weighing cucumbers/ bags of apples/ squashes to make sure I'm getting the biggest

I love the idea of a secret signal/ pin badge/ safety pin!

I'm the one who's probably in your way in the supermarket isle, with a very concentrated look on my face, trying to work out which item is better value by whatever weight/number of items in packet...and trying to keep a running total of my spend in my head.
Haven't worked up the courage to whip my calculator out yet!

Right I'm 5.4" rather round (I'm being generous:))I wear glasses and my hair definitely has quite a bit of 'snow ' in it.I usually have at least three little boys in tow, one of whom is my little shadow.You won't often find me in the supermarkets at the moment as I am shopping from my freezer and storecupboard.I also am the one who will chat to you on the bus or in a queue as I love meeting folk and find people so interesting to chat to.
Weeble is quite a good description of me, although my wee grandson calls me 'Grannycuddles' I usually have a shopping bag with home made goodies in for the boys or their friends, and my house is the one where you will always get a cuppa and something to eat as I love feeding folk.It may not be the neatest house in the street but its comfortable and all my grandchildren love it and look on it as some sort of refuge where they bring their stray buddies who haven't got a Gran for a feed :)
and yes we do use saftey pins to find each other at 'meets'

A shorter fatter Miranda Hart, though not as elegant and normally chatting to someone.

Oh I use my calculator in the shops.. no problem. I'll walk around with the 'special offers flyer' in one hand and my calculator in the other.

I'm the ditzy blonde....on a mission to do the shop and get home as quick as I can. Mind you ....you can probably find me in a Charity shop...trying hard to find a 'bargain' that I really don't need!:cool:

You wouldn't because I don't really exist.


Quiet, window shopper, looking but not buying, ignoring the little large lady staring back from the reflective shop window, always on my own but I'm happiest this way.
