Who is Ethel?

Ethel was my dear great grandmother whom sadly died before I was born.

My parents were going to call me Ethel Maude which is very sweet ,but sadly they didn't.

What were you going to be called if you were not given your current name?

Charity Shops

I feel terribly useless at this :/ 

Do you think that clothes in shops are not merely as nice as the things you see in charity shops?

I recently purchased 2 cake stands for the pprice of £3.50 which is not bad at all considering they sell the same Cake Stands in Fenwicks (posh store in Newcastle) for three times the price fore just one.

They are currently being used to show off the beautiful work by a ceramic artist that is sold at my work called Clare Gage. All the grannies comment on how well they are presented. I will make sure to take a photo of them for all you lovely people to see.

Shopping Trollies

I just have to blog about the lady who comes past where I work twice a week. She is so chic. Always well presented and carries the most superb trollie with leopard print and glitter all over. Reminds me of a friend of mine who insisted on wearing one piece of leopard print with every outfit. here is the link to her shopping trollie http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/B003P4WJ8O/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=11052671&s=outdoors

I seem to see alot of younger MEN & women choosing to use these now rather than the older generation. If only I felt comfortable with the thought of pulling one of those around and not worrying that I would look like a nutcase, you do see the homeless pushing supermarket trollies around so why can't 21 year olds pull a shopping trollie along the street without getting funny looks?

My friend "S" thinks that there is somethiung terribly wrong with me. I tell him that it is better for me than the 5 tonne satchel i'm currently carrying around doing my back no good. I have to say come payday I may buy one of those bad boys. maybe in a more demure colour or a SHOCKING pink? What do you think?
