    Meeting up with a good friend for lunch (I haven't seen her since Christmas) and she gave me my favourite body lotion as my birthday present!
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    ... taking someone home from hospital.

    I was wrong...

    I don't own the newest nor flashiest of cars, but it has one over-riding good point - it is reliable.

    So ... on the way to the hospital (30 miles away), what happens, it stalls, overheating, push to the side of the road, text ahead - I'll be late.

    Get it going again, get to the hospital, then have to find a wheelchair, hospital is a rabbit warren, find out that there are two lifts, one goes to some floors, the other lift goes to every other floor - finally get wheelchair, having been on every floor, and nearly every ward in the hospital (some more than once, lol), finally get back to the car - and just pray it starts, in fact pray for every inch (and I mean every inch) of the journey back, particularly at traffic lights, roundabouts, and junctions as I rev the engine to keep it going, while watching the temperature gauge climb.

    What was the best thing to happen to me today - making it back safely without breaking down again - or maybe - I should spend some time consideringthis - it was having every prayer answered.

    Tough as life often is - I hope YOU have your prayers answered - the important ones.
    If many little people, in many little places, do many little things,
    they can change the face of the world.

    Couple of good things have happened to me today. I received a few compliments at parent/toddler about the blouse I was wearing :D Also, was offered a mystery shopping assignment which I accepted :j - I haven't been offered any for ages and I really, really need the extra cash at the moment.

    Today my ex landlady rang me and told me that she is going to send a cheque to me and OH for £105 because we recommended a friend to them!

    We've always raved about our ex rented flat and now we have been paid for it-I have to say they are a very good company.
    Thing is we didnt even know that they had this scheme going, so its a really pleasant surprise.
    Respond to every call that excites your spirit.
