Preparedness for when

I've got JUTE shopping bags!!! where does that put me on the scale? Mind I scruff around in jeans that are well worn and faded and tee shirts that have been washed so often that they have all faded softly into lovely muted fuzzy colours. I do have some very expensive trekking sandals that I've had for 5 years now and the soles have been stuck back on at the front. The corpus christie is round and poddly and the hair is short and grey and the rucksack has definitely seen better days. Think if I sat with a hat beside me someone might donate???

It would help to have the lurcher on a rope lead. :rotfl:

But I'd have to untie the twine holding up my trousers to do that!!!

Even though I could buy new clothes etc, I tend to wash and wear the same clothes until they are thread bare... So every time you see me I wear exactly the same metal band t shirt, same jeans, same jumper,and the same cotton trader mucker boots, or walking boots. .

I wear exactly the same in work, going shopping, on farm/IG auctions and shopping etc..

When I am shopping I always try and scramble around in my purse for the right money if I am using cash, this makes me look as though I can just about enough money to pay...

I don't buy trolley loafs of food anymore. Either

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - and that explains neatly in one then why people often think I have more money than I actually do - now I know its down to those shopping bags and the good skin. "Middling comfortable" = I wish......

Now the shopping bags I can do summat about...

The teeshirts are getting pretty darn faded by now though - as I'm watching the weight go back down gradually until it hits Slim before I let myself buy any new ones.....:p

Dead right about MaccyD and the Costa Del Sol.........LOL...

that'd get you a smack upside the ear with a wet tea-cloth.

I'm game if you are.

It'll make a change from the handcuffs and riding crop.

:cool: Might be worth a try, Lyn, if you got bored one day!

I always worry if I stand still on my allotment I'll get taken for a scarecrow and have birds roost on my (very battered and faded) sunhat.

:eek: if I just whisper Mulberry & Boden can I still stay?

And when we didn't get the weimaraner guess what we got instead? A miniature poodle :rotfl:

(Not said anything about him because of Mrs LW losing Docky )

My shoppers are from Mr.T's but I did buy the Orla Keily design ones.

But then quite a lot of posts back, I did explain that I am vain and shallow :rotfl::rotfl:but sadly without the "racehorse looks" as old and fat now.

And very probably a sitting target!

'Course you can, Malcolm!

I have some whizzy branded clothes. I suspect I am completely age-inappropriate for QuikSilver, RipCurl and a few other things, but I bought them secondhand for pennies 'cos I liked them. I have a n!ke-branded top with the international ice hockey federation logo on the top of the spine. And a small Canadian maple leaf embroidered on the front. I am not Canandian, can't play ice hockey, have no interest in the sport and don't favour branded sportswear.

From my pov it was Oh look, a long-sleeved tee in black made in a nice quality cotton as new for 50p You can come home with me.

DOVELING that's so kind and considerate of you, I'm so delighted for you that you have now your own doggy pal, is it a boy or a girl and what is his/her name, what colour? oh, all the details please. It actually makes me feel better for knowing as I know how disappointed you were not to get the beautiful weimaraner a while ago. Enjoy every single second love, thank you for being so lovely, Lyn xxx.
