    Betty's Tartan Bag. (Long, self indulgent post).

    Morning all.

    This is my 2nd self indulgent post today, so apololgies in advance.

    Last night on the Army thread I got talking about the bag I'm using to haul my laptop and college stuff around in. It's tartan, red tartan, with black straps and buckles. Not like a granny shopper at all.

    I had another 'AHA' moment when I realised what that bag meant. It means I'm getting back to 'myself'.

    I was always a little bit eccentric, not really conforming in terms of clothing etc, but for the past few years I really feel like I lost that. I did the nice lady handbags and the ladies who lunch clothes here in Singers, and that's just not me.

    I spotted the tartan bag a couple of weeks ago and new I had to have it, and have been carrying it proudly, but I've only just realised how significant it was. I was always proud to be just that little bit 'odd', and I'm delighted to say that I'm feeling confident enough to be that person again, and that's a direct result of being here and doing my AF time. Thank you!

    Bad news for my Teen boys though, they already think their Mother's not quite 'right'.

    Have a good Thursday Bxx

        Hi Betty, you inspire me to take that first step. Thanks for the PM by the way, I'm going to try the slow down and abstain method. The odd thing goes without saying.
        Best wishes,

            Pro - you didn't admit whether or not you have an Archers habit like me?? Or is that just too shameful to share

                  Betty - Archers habit as in the BBC Archers?
