  • Been given use of a car park space next Monday - saving £8.50.

    Put some bits on Ebay and have lots of watchers already.

    Have started bank charges reclaim - but its Lloyds so will take months no doubt.

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Was able to help a friend out this week, made me feel good.

    Also, have not had chocolate today.....or yesterday.....as I eat chocolate purely for emotional reasons (I am a carrier bag a day girl), this is a very positive thing indeed.

  • I can't think of anyhting in particular that was worth writing but I've felt really quite happy this week, so that's good!

    Am off to Leeds to the o2 festival in about half a hour so the weekend should be good too (although wet!)

    A friend of mine is playing the lead in a musical version of the Wizard of Oz at the theatre next week. I really wanted to go, but I couldn't really justify the cost so I put off buying the tickets. Yesterday I heard they were selling the tickets half price for one day only, so I have my tickets for a bargain price :D

    The best bit was when the saleslady asked 'How did you hear about the show?' and I was able to say.....'I'm a friend of Dorothy's', boom boom! :rotfl:
