Lesley's Loot

This tiny limpet once belonged to a beach. It’s now in the middle of a busy street far away from it’s usual surrounding's of sea, sand and rock but now leaves, litter and tarmac.

Look who’s been to Australia for their summer holidays. This kid, who proudly presents this in the form of a cute little clip on koala bear souvenir. Alternatively they may well have given this to a friend and on a more cynical note may well put their friendship in jeopardy. This maybe because their friend hasn’t been able to arrange a holiday as extravagant as going abroad, either resorting to a cheap camp site somewhere in the UK or has spent their entire holidays at home or worse still at summer school as their parents/guardians go out to work and so never venturing further than the school playground. So just imagine for a minute some scenario around this one. I have to bitch at this point as girls are notorious for this sort of thing... Oh god is that’ s all you did all summer – Amelia you’re so dull. Oh S u zie, (another girl here who’s been on holiday like her) did you, OMG that’s just so ooo cool. Look at my pics – yea that’s me on the roller-coaster a t Disneyland P

It’s not just the sounds of the kids in the playground and the clogging up of roads that tell you it’s back to school even the litter does too.

Another hair grip – and it’s another unicorn which is, you’ve got it – pink!

Just go and dump you’re old pushchair outside someone's house why don’t you? Fly tipping is a degrading problem amongst our population today. Symptoms can range from being too lazy or too busy and most of all selfishness. This could quite easily have been sold in a charity shop benefiting a family. Instead selfishly trashed and left for someone else to pick up and dispose of. The cure is quite simple; take on less work, calm down, think of others less fortunate than yourself.   

I know just what it’s like when you’ve got long hair and it’s getting in the way of everything you’re doing like eating and doing your school work. Then you simply reach for one of these – the trusty old hair grip or hair slide. This ones a cute little fashion accessory version as you can see. For the older female on the other hand then you’re using something more specialised; the hair spray so your hair stays in place all day long: You look good and you feel good too so one of the TV advert slogans springs to mind. As an adult that hair grip is either too childish or too impoverished or just plain weird. I know as a friend of mine used to tease me about it. Is the hair spray option too good to be true? Yes! Over use can give you a permanent bad hair day as it’s not good for your hair and it’s an environmental polluter too! Short hair’s the answer to all these wows. Firstly is not messy – just leave it as it sorts it’s self out – out of sight out of mind. Secondly – it’s good

This cute little neckless is typically made with fake white pearls.   

  Perhaps Little Miss Brave was awarded to mark a particular momentous occasion or challenging moment in a child's life such as their first visit to the dentist or even first day at school especially as she was found attached to a telegraph pole outside some school gates this week as this was the first week back after the summer holidays. 

Toy manufactures mainly use pink to appeal to girls because it’s a cute and soft colour as well as symbolising nurturing, girl power and not forgetting love too. Black, on the other hand would be too hard, blue too cold and red too mature. The reason for coming across so many of these pink toys and not so much the ones belonging to boys is probably because girls like to take them out and about just like their mothers do with them, therefore appealing to their nurturing instinct reinforced by their cuteness. So here’s yet another pink adorable must have, Zoomer Zupps, the Tiny Unicorn toy . And by the way s he’s manufactured by Spin Maste r just in case you like the look of her and want one of your own . It’s not just attracting girls in the way I’ve just mentioned but also make them aware of class as t his unicorn’s a second class citizen compared to her more expensive sister version Zoomer Show Pony who mimics an actual real pet. That’s right, you can feed her and she
