Money, Money, Money

Its a sad fact of life that the world revolves around money and it can really be a pain in the proverbials! After flogging some bits and bobs on ebay to raise some much needed cash for my camera (which the gorgeous Lesley picked up for me today) it seems that money is not a good thing at the moment for us. We knew we would have to take it easy for a while but it seems that everything has turned up in the last two weeks to throw us off track. Firstly we get a £3k quote for the garden (only levelling and lawn and it's only a small garden too!) then it's another two and half thousand for the conservatory blinds (this came down from a quote of £4k!). Then today we take the car for it's MOT and we've just had to spend over £400 on parts and also find the money for labour when it's sorted on Monday. Feel like smashing something but that'll be one less thing to sell!

This makes trying to switch to 'positive thoughts' during the reading of 'The Secret' extremely difficult for me to do. Maybe i'm just too pessimistic and cynical to believe that everything that happens to you happens because of your own thoughts. I do believe that if you are positive you are more happy and if you think positive you will have a healthier and happier life....but sometimes...it's just too damned hard to be positive!

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine, boy it's hot and i'm stuck in with no car....doing housework...i do have a lottery ticket for tonight though....don't do it very often but thought i'd give it a go....wish me luck.
