Pumpkin's Positive Post - Winning and Other Things

Tweet

Hello everyone. Some of you may have seen my ranty discussion. If not, you can see it here: https://www.mylot.com/post/3276063/pumpkins-rant-of-the-day-my-first-non-paying-client I would suggest reading that first and then coming back to this one if you wish to read both! Today, I got to work feeling a little grumpy/annoyed/angry. I discovered, however, that I had entered the highest bid for an auction that was going on at work. We have various charity events. This time, a local escape room had donated a voucher for a game. Escape Reality is actually in the same building - the same floor even - as my work. It's not possible, as far as I know, to get between the two businesses without going out of one and across to a different door for the other. It is possible, however, to have a game over a lunch time as we can have an hour for lunch and the maximum escape time is also one hour. I think there were only two people bidding on the voucher. I paid £55 for it, which is not bad as it's for one game for up to 6 people - making it worth £96. As it's something I enjoy anyway, it's definitely a bargain. Now all I need is to choose who to take with me. Also at work, we were trying to work out something. We are not supposed to use abbreviations that are not universally known. We asked someone we thought would know about one - he didn't. After a minute or so, it came to me and I was happy to have worked it out! Then, I think, I said something else clever. I can't remember what it was, though. Another thing was that, after trying to get some more information about an archery course that is starting soon. I had asked a couple of times for the cost of membership (which I still don't know, only that it's £15 off membership for people who do the beginners course) and how to pay. Today, I intended to send them another message to follow this up. I didn't need to as I received an email with most of the information I needed. I was able to sign up and pay for the course so I will be starting an archery course on 3rd June. I am very much looking forward to this. I've also got lots of other fun things coming up. Last weekend, I went to see a play. This weekend, I'm going away for a few days with my other half and youngest son. What exciting things do you have planned? What's the best bargain you've ever bagged or the best thing you've ever won?
