Serendipity

 


The other week I told you all that I had a rebate from my electricity bill , money from which I put towards my next year’s counselling college bills. Rebates from my water bill and money hidden away in a jar brought the total saved up to 1000£ Allowing a further pension rebate to pay for my trip to see the lisping Spanish Choir ( my troll went apoplectic at my failure to add to my savings!!!)

Today I did overtime at work ( to pay for my own counselling sessions)  and in a down moment read an email from management telling the staff that we were to receive a one off payment in Lieu of a wage increase. 
This was an unexpected bonus for the staff and even though I’m part time I will receive approximately 500 + £ extra next month!!!
500£ will more than pay for the outstanding college fees of 1400£  I will owe and will also help with my supervision bills too
How lucky am I? 
I sang I have A Dream when I got home with Roger bouncing alongside me like a loon 
Please as punch as I was
I really do realise just how lucky I have been

    What a run of fab luck for you John. I have no religious leanings at all but do remember my forced time at Sunday School in the 1960’s - Ecclesiastes 3:1(KJV) always resonates with me and puts everything into perspective. Jan in Castle Gresley
