Yesterday, I had occasion to call at a primary school in a neighbouring village and I took the opportunity to call into a small supermarket just across the road. Before doing so, I saw the Barnardo's charity shop next door was open. I don't use charity shops, except maybe to give them stuff I no longer need, but I never buy from them. However, something in my head told me to go in because I might just find the denim skirt I wanted. My rational mind told me the chances of that happening would be extremely remote and I was wasting time but, nevertheless, I followed my hunch and walked it. My eyes quickly descended on a rail with about half a dozen items which said: "Everything £1. No returns". And there, among the items, was the skirt I had been looking for. It was the right style, colour, length and size - and it even had the original label on it suggesting it was unworn. Unbelievable - but 100% true. Never dismiss a hunch.
I think I might buy a lottery ticket this weekend and see if my luck holds!
