Spots Before the Eyes
It's been another bright sunny day. While enjoying the warmth I took a leisurely browse around the local garden centre. I was trying to decide whether to buy another garden bench. Reduced by £30. I like a bargain. I was trying to decide whether to spend £120 in order to save £30. While I was trying to justify this saving I started to see a dark spot in my vision. At first I thought it was from the sun - dazzle. It would disappear then re-appear. It was most annoying. Then I realised I was probably starting a visual migraine. That decided it. I would save my money and drive home while I still had some sight left. Then lie down in a darkened room to recover. The drive home was uneventful. But I still had the on/off spot in my vision. It wasn't till I took off my sunglasses that I saw I had a money spider hanging over the frame. I thought money spiders were supposed to be harbinger of increased fortune. I suppose it was as in a way I was £120 richer than I thought I'd be on my retun home.

By my reckoning you are now entitled to spend £120 on whatever you fancy, counting it as a windfall, as you didn't buy the bench so saved the whole cost.
Female logic says that if you buy, for example, a £100 handbag for only £20, you are then honour-bound to spend another £80 on matching shoes, but if you can get them for, maybe, only £40 you can then buy some £20 earrings for, say £10...........and so on, until the whole £100 is gone. You get my drift?
Glad the migraine turned out to be a spider, another bonus!
Best wishes.
I hope you are feeling better by now. I have a surprise for you at my site. When you get a chance come on by:

This did make me laugh. My father used to have migraines where his sight went - really horrible. Still, as SM said, you can now justify a good bit of retail therapy....
Helloooo Swearing mother - nice to se you. I am all in favour of female logic. Will be out in the shops later this week.
Teeni - thanks for visit - I'm on my way ...
Flower - they are a nuisance but thankfully I don't have them often. the first one was the scariest - I was walking around Waitrose and thought I was having a stroke!
