i remember one of the meets (the Imperial war museum one!!) and one of the ladies turned up with a kilt pin couldn't miss her

i have 2 tiny gold pins on the left of my coat near the zip a cow print shopping trolley and i'm the one who in lidl will be pushing a basket (yes we have wheely baskets!) and dragging my trolley behind me, filling up with £1 beans, chorizo, quorn and freeway cola

and if you spot me come and say hello

I have found yet another thing i have in common with Bitter and Twisted, i too have long curly hair. It went brunettish this year at the hairdressers, but dh has admited he prefers me blonde.....

So i am the other one with long curly hair thats a bit darker than b&t's. I am covered in animal hair sadly, and probably a bit of hay too in my hair, or on my back. I might be wearing ridiculous high heels, but if i am i have a walking stick that i am trying not to use, so walking or hobbling holding it. Slightly too much makeup probably, its a sort of compulsion. if i drop my handbag there will certainly be a dog lead in there....just in case

Thank you so much for giving me a chuckle! Haven't laughed and smiled so much at a thread for a loooong time!
It's amazing how many of you look like me..........have a got loads of relatives that I didn't know I had?
Like many of you, I am 5'4", slightly too erm, cuddly (my 4 yr old tells me Mummy, you're a circle cos you're 'FAT', said with a delicious giggle in a big stage whisper!)
I wear hijab,but if I didn't I'd also have messy hair that hasn't seen a hairdresser's scissors in 2 years! Would be pretty grey if it wasn't for £1 DIY colours from Wilko's.
Often seen hanging around the reduced fridge bit hoping for bargains, or muttering as I walk around an unfamiliar supermarket desperately trying to find the reduced bits, but too embarrassed to ask anyone!

Off to find a safety pin now methinks:D

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!

I have - I've done the rounds of the supermarket with my calculator in my hand on many occasions! Doing the shopping sitting down makes it easier, though (this will be explained if you read on).

I'm the strangely-dressed woman (think full-length velvet with dangly sleeves) with waist-length dark red hair, usually with a silver streak down the middle because it needs re-colouring. Usually clanking with chunky jewellery. Bronze-coloured frames on square-lensed spectacles. Being pushed around in a red wheelchair with butterfly stickers on by a dark-haired (though sadly slightly balding) distinguished-looking gentleman with spectacles. If it's cold, I may be wearing a vivid blue cloak (as opposed to coat) with a hood, or else a black fleece with "Anglian Wolf Society" in yellow on one sleeve.

I wonder how many osers are 'expressive' dressers. I quite often am in trackies at home doing critters, but also wear my old evening dresses at hme, as pjs or house clothes becuase they give me joy and i get use out of them. Obviously this is after they are less good for evening wear. I tend not to wear them beyond the house much. My clients often think its funny i will feed the horses in good weather like miss havishams fat younger sister though. . All dressed up, no where to go.

Me too:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Cud just see the family's reaction though. If I ever put on even a wee tiny bit of make up, my kids laugh and ask who on earth is going to be looking at me!! Erm, your Dad maybe?
