    And so, in about as hippyish a state as I will ever get, I am off to meditate to some reiki bamboo flute panpipey music.

    Well the stroller that was listed for a tenner and had no bites was relisted at 99p and has just sold for over 20 quid so that's put another smile on my face. And managed another wine-free day. Reiki Panpipes did not help my mood, in fact it made me want to chop down trees (preferably with panpipers in them). Off for an early one tonight as 2.45am is going to come around very quickly (Australian GP Practice Session 3). Woo hoo!

    Isn't it funny how that sometimes happens? I see that all the time on ebay. I was watcing an item listed as £50 and the seller got no bites - they relisted it at £30, a bidding war ensued and it went for £65! I also seen an item end up in a bidding war that sold for over £100 but the same item was available from another suppplier "buy it now" for £75....
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Mr B I don't know what that Vikkipollard is on about but as the post has been thanked 4 times there must be something in what he/she has said. My post was certainly not intended to have anything horrible about it, so I'm sorry if it gave that impression. Have enjoyed reading your diary and hardly ever post on anyone's diaries so I must need some training! Good luck with the debt-busting and running. SL

    Hey SL I am pretty sure VP wasn't inferring that YOU meant anything horrible by the 'Floater' quote. Down where I come from, a 'floater' does conjure up an image that isn't exactly breakfast-friendly. But aside from the occasional troll this thread is, like most every other one in DebtFree diaries - chock full of nice people - so please do keep on posting.
