win some, lose some…
Last week I found out there would be no yoga classes over the holidays, which for here means from just before Christmas until January 8th … more than two weeks! So after my last yoga class (day before Christmas eve) I spoke to one of the guys at the reception desk and suggested that as I mostly come to the gym for yoga and there weren’t going to be classes for half a month, that I should only be charged half my fee for January … and he said no problem!
So there I was, feeling quite chuffed at having saved myself 18 euros, when I turned to collect my umbrella that I had left at the front door and saw that it was gone. There were about ten other umbrellas there, but not mine. And it was pissing down with rain. Well, the nice guy at the gym lent me his umbrella (which I brought back the next day) but of course I had to buy myself another one. Found a really pretty red one for 12 euros, which still puts me ahead by 6 euros, but you know … *sigh*
Hmmm – no other comments – down to me then
Look at it the other way around, without the windfall, you’d have been 12 euros down.
My hero!
It’s always so sad when NOBODY leaves a comment …
Yep, still 6 euros ahead. And I now have a pretty red umbrella. The old one was black and kind of falling to bits anyhow. Curious that someone stole that one when almost all the other ones there were in way better condition.
Oh my.
*thwack*
