Polly's bio
Resigned from work in the NHS....it stopped being what I’d believed in, my patients were my priority not the paperwork.
I’m now a volunteer with the Canal and River Trust -

YAWN Air Bed – Choose between Single, Double or King Size!I have rels who live in Yorkshire and I love seeing them (I'm Staffordshire) and they've been so good to me but I don't have a bed for them to sleep on when they come down so this would be greatViewDate:

Crafting at homeI make hatpins, I started after buying a beautiful 1920’s style hat, I searched online but couldn’t find one I liked. I’ve made them with feathers, diamond dust and semi precious stones and they get commented one and requests to make them for friends and friends of friendsViewDate:

Magazines at the Doctor's surgeryI used to work in my local hospital in the outpatient department and the reasons why we had to refuse offers of magazines was that because so many people handled them they would transfer infections ect from patient to patient and for as much as we’d like to think people washed their hands after going to the toilet many just don’t......hence no mags. My advice would be take your own magazine/paper/bookViewDate:

Money Saving TipsHi Sally Ann I'm all for saving money, I go for vouchers, there are lots of site's where you can print off voucher's. Other site's I visit are ones where you can get freebs but one of the best things I do is to haggle, I have to be pretty desperate to pay full price for something. The other thing I do, much to my daughters consternation, is whilst walking, shopping ect I automatically scan the floor, particularly around shops, for dropped coins and in the last 3 weeks I've picked up over £6.00, 3 1pound coins, 3 50 pence pieces and various silver and bronze coins, it all mounts up and I put it into a pot in my kitchen and now that's over half full, I cant understand peoples attitude do they have so much they can throw it away............my hubby says oh its only pennies and 2 pence pieces but as I say it all mounts up. The other thing people can do is to put their odd pennies into one of those money box tins that you have to use a can opener to get at the money, I've got two one with bronze in and one with silver (5p's) in you'll be surprised how fast they fill up and you don't miss the coinsViewDate:

What book are you currently reading?Hi, at the moment I'm reading "The People's Queen" by Vanora Bennett it's okay a bit heavy going but enjoyable. I'm not keen on what I term as heaving bosoms and bodice ripping :cry: I like historical stories, my daughter bought me Crickly Hall (its been on t.v)ViewDate:

English GrammarFor me its the spoken word, I find it irritating when someone keeps saying "you know" and "like" but up there at the top is "erm". My written grammar isn't all it should be but I do try to speak properly I work in the health sector and not being able to understand or to be understood is horrendous it can create such confusion. Perhaps I'm just being picky :-?ViewDate:

Have you retired yet or are you planning to any time soon?Hi, I retired March 2012 but decided I would like to do 2 days so that's what I did, I can honestly say I think I've got the best of both worlds. Me and hubby became members of the National Trust (its paid for its self over and over again) and we go all over the place, we take picnic's and have a wonderful time :-) -
