Fair Trade Woman 2008: Blog

Hi folks,

I'm afraid we've been having some trouble getting our videos up on the net so I've decided to we've fallen a little behind. On Day 2 I recorded a little piece for you to give you an update on how I was doing:



At that point, I was incredibly cranky.

You know they say not to go food shopping when you're hungry? Well, to me that was always a reference to all the crazy stuff I end up buying just because everything looks so tasty. I'm pretty sure taht's what 'they' were referring to. That saying has taken on a whole new meaning since Monday. Because some supermarkets are great at stocking particular FT foods, like maybe bananas and chocolate, but no coffee. Or tea and juice, but no bananas, I ended up spending teh first couple of shops just throwing those things back on to the shelf thinking I'd find a better range of choice somewhere else. And the hungrier I got, the crankier I got, the less bananas seemed like a good buy, and the more I longed for something substantial and tasty and most importantly, savoury.

So this video shows where I was at that point. Enjoy!
