Please note that this post contains commission-based links to Waterstones. ‘The Ginger Survival Guide’ by Tim Collins. A must have for any redheads bookshelf (and for anyone else’s). Very informative and fully responsible for the confirmation of my long-held belief that, being a ginger myself, I have a beyond-this-ginger-life future carved out for me inContinue reading “Savvy Book – The Ginger Survival Guide”

Savvy Style – This Is It
This is it – the moment that you’ve all been waiting for! The final scenes from the slow reveals, of my cheap-as-chips alternatives to Princess Beatrice’s floral frock, as featured in photos celebrating her recent engagement. Here goes … First, the £10 and something pence dress, ordered from Unbranded on ebay … One cannot denyContinue reading “Savvy Style – This Is It”
Savvy Style – Ginger Legs
Just about to order a pair of ‘Rustic Ginger’ tights to match my hair colour. I’m also guessing that they will look fab with the £6 dress I bought from Sainsbury’s autumn sale. The very friendly lady at the til joked that it might be next summer before I could wear my bargain, but I disagree.Continue reading “Savvy Style – Ginger Legs”
Savvy Letter – Dear Prince Harry
Written in response to Harry’s pleas to look up and appreciate the trees that sustain us, as featured in The Daily Mail. Dear Harry, You are so right – right in the way that all fellow gingers are obviously right!

Savvy Style – Princess Budget
It’s Saturday, i.e. shopping day! And I’m all excited because, according to the Metro online, I can purchase a Zimmerman dress identical to the one worn by the recently-engaged Princess Beatrice, for the mere price of £595 from Zimmerman. Tragically, my Jobseeker’s Allowance won’t stretch to it. Disaster! Alternatively, if I take advice from Hello I couldContinue reading “Savvy Style – Princess Budget”
Outstanding
I stand out – a head above the rest, tall and gangly, alien accent, orange crown, and more-than-a-little odd. I stand above, and I stand out – florescent, illuminating, and alert. I’m an amber sunset, full of the promise of a better tomorrow. I alarm you. A flashing-red siren cuts through your conscience.Continue reading “Outstanding”
21: Daredevil Dinah
Yesterday was wasted. Today, therefore, is going to be The Day! Action required. First stop – the doctor’s! Still have three months of The Day Job to get through, so must restock on the magic mood-boosting pills. The doctor is thrilled by my imminent redundancy and suggests that I wean myself off the higher doseContinue reading “21: Daredevil Dinah”
A Medicinal Stroll in Chilton
I’m sitting here staring at a book about the ‘Wrekin Giant’ wondering when I will finally get around to creating my own version of the Salopian folk tale. No point sitting here just thinking about it. If I’m not going to get on with it here and now, it’s time to get out. Not outContinue reading “A Medicinal Stroll in Chilton”
