Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post. Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists. Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Characters I’d Follow On Social Media and I decided to have a bit of fun with it.
Edward Rochester from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – for matrimonial advice and ideas on how to utilise loft space
Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens – for money saving tips and advice on work/life balance
Henrietta Bird from Dear Mrs Bird by A J Pearce – for her empathetic, understanding advice on relationship problems (shared in her Twitter feed, naturally)
Miss Havisham from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens – for decluttering tips
Toad from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame – for road safety advice
Robinson Crusoe from the book of the same name by Daniel Defoe – for the insider’s guide to the best island destinations
The Queen of Hearts from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll – for her forthright views on criminal justice
Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald – for advice on throwing the ultimate party
Ben Gunn from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson – for everyday recipes using cheese
Scarlett O’Hara from Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell – for make do and mend sewing tips

I love your take on it this week! I can see Scrooge doing the found money jar blog–a guy used to do this. It showed his change jar, a total, and the details of his latest finds–ie. A penny in the doorway of the dry cleaners or a quarter under the pop machine at work. It’s totally Scrooge.
