Sometimes, I manage to say something that really flummoxes my current colleagues - this time around, it was the statement that I have never owned a handbag (which I haven't at any time, despite the fact that my fourth decade is rapidly approaching). So this started me thinking about ways in which I am not necessarily a typical female... and that means a poll, with ticky-boxes! :P

I used ot have a handbag somewhere back in the early 80's then I discovered the joys of backpacks, rucksacks and huge briefcases. Never looked back.

Gave up on umbrella's when at University in Bangor, North Wales. They're not much good in horizontal rain and gale force winds.

Hate shoe shopping. They're the things that go on the end of my legs to stop my feets gettign cold, wet or dirty *g*. Except trainers - I happily spend a lot of time, money, once a year finiding the right pair of trainers to take me through various gym and exercise classes!

I have more action movies than any other genre in my dvd/video collection Not true for me since by DVd collection is made up of the entire canons of particular actors *g* (hello Johnny Depp and Billy Crudup to mention two)!

I like wearign skirts - just not all the time.

I also have girly moments with toiletries.

I do not diet. I try to eat sensibly and when feeling ick do eliminate starchy carbs, sugars and dairy etc for a while. But this is not dieting.

I do not know what my natural hair colour is as I haven't seen it since I was 14 and decided that mousy brown was not me whereas vibrant red or black may be *g*

Life is too short for plucking eyebrows but not too short for fighting off their tendency to edge towards forming a mono-brow!

I think my lack of interest in buying shoes stems partly from the fact I have wide feet (EE) and therefore shoe shopping has always been an unmitigated pain in the arse. Likewise, I find it much easier to buy men's trainers in my size than women's because they're a) less likely to be white or pink, and b) they're much more likely to fit properly.

There have to be some advantages for us natural blondes... ;)
