inulroI got off the bus this morning & found a £20 note on the pavement!
This meant I could afford to get a new battery put in my watch, which stopped on Saturday! Except that it wasn't the battery this time. My watch needs to be sent away for service, which will cost £45, needs at least 50% up front, and will take 2-6 weeks. I need to check my bank account to make sure I can afford this before payday. I thought I'd have to buy a crap & nasty one to tide me over (I am Ms. Obsessive when it comes to time & there's no way I could go without for that long), but it turns out Jason has some extras, so I can borrow one. Yeah, I know I could buy a new one for less, but this one was a graduation present in 1990 & was quite expensive and is really nice, so is probably worth repairing. It just had to happen when I'm broke.
Then came home to discover that Sneezey is an ex-guinea pig. He looked a little unwell at the weekend, but very elderly guinea pigs (he was 5 1/2, which is quite old) tend to look unwell & not do much for some time, so I wasn't expecting him to go quite so soon. I'm going to miss the little waste disposal unit, but I suppose it's much better than him hanging on being miserable for longer.
