good news, bad news

First the good news: I have found my sunglasses! I've been looking for them for weeks.

They were in my handbag.

Now, why have I got a little flashing eye in the corner of my monitor screen? I'll ignore it. It will go away soon if I ignore it. I expect.

I didn't mention it yesterday but during the afternoon I received an email telling me the result of my application to attend a script-writing course partly sponsored by the BBC and ITV. To be considered I had to submit a sample script, which I did.

What do you think the result of my application was?

You've guessed it: thank you but no. And in case I didn't believe the email they told me in a letter as well today.

I am trying to fight the superstition that says things come in threes. Although as they informed me by letter and email, would that, along with my Romantic Novelists Report make it three?

I really wanted chocolate yesterday but I'm on a - excuse me - sodding diet! And I have weigh-in tonight. Last week I had put on one pound but I was expecting it; I had had a bad eating week with Younger Son in hospital and me grabbing cake on the run. This week I have tried really hard so I had better have got down to the weight I was before I put on the pound at least. I am planning on having chocolate straight after weigh-in anyway!

People keep telling me I don't need to diet but, according to the charts, I am 10lbs overweight for my height. And that's even when I lie and say I'm taller than I am.

I might even go to the gym this afternoon. Would that help?

The little flashing eye is starting to intimidate me.
