Savvy Style – On The Flat

If your employer insists upon you wearing high heels, … look for another job! Or, better still, go self-employed. There’s nothing as blissful as donning flats, day in and day out! And if, like me, you once aspired to be a ballerina – and now have arthritis, gout and everything else that could go wrong withContinue reading “Savvy Style – On The Flat”

Savvy Tips – Net it!

What to write about? Why question it! Why not just write about whatever you can catch back? All you need is  a net – it doesn’t have to be costly –  one of those little nets on the end of a stick will do! You know, the sort you nagged your parents for, every timeContinue reading “Savvy Tips – Net it!”

Silly Letter – Dear Mrs Moo

Dear Mrs Moo, I’m sorry that I did it, but what else can I say? I mean, how can I justify myself in this case? I know that your milk was produced with the sole intention of seeing your calf through to existence but, you must understand, I too was in need at that time.Continue reading “Silly Letter – Dear Mrs Moo”

Savvy Style – Princess Forever …

Thought you’d seen the last of savvy-old me? No chance! Yes, I did bag myself up in no less than two Bargain Buy bin bags! But no, I didn’t stick with the bags when I upcycled them!

Silly Poem – Winter’s Approach

October cold nips at thighs and calves. I wrap them, tuck them in, try to be at one with the shape of my chair. It’s a swivel chair. Once shaped, will I be able to twist, turn and spin into takeoff? And, once airborne, will I be able to land? Or, will that be meContinue reading “Silly Poem – Winter’s Approach”

Savvy Style – Bag a Princess!

Update on the whole Princess-Beatrice-lookalike dress on a budget fiasco! As you saw in my previous post, Princess Budget, I did eventually achieve some success with my charity shop jaunt, with a floral wonder from Cancer Research UK – well under budget at £3! It’s true enough that it was a little short and improper, theContinue reading “Savvy Style – Bag a Princess!”

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! Have been an fan of you, since it became clear from your baby pictures that, likeContinue reading “Savvy Letter – Dear Prince Harry”

Savvy Style – Dress to live!

“When do you think we might stop dressing the same as we did when we were twenty-something?” For a teeny bit of a moment, my much-younger (approaching forty) cousin-in-law’s question brings on a miniature wave of anxiety. Is she trying to make a statement? Is she dropping a mammoth-sized hint? I try to see myselfContinue reading “Savvy Style – Dress to live!”
