    I know earlier in the year the Ray D'arcy show did a happy news section and with everything about banks crashing, share plummeting, and public spending cut backs its time for some happy news.

    So i'll start.

    1. I booked my hotel today for my trip to Buneos Aires at Christmas.

    2. I got asked out for a drink the other day, which totally floored me and I totally bundlled the reply and left the poor fella utterley confused... Damn why can't i be cool:rolleyes:

    My little girl climbed into my bed at 3am and told me she loved me.

    I never had much money, so if shares have halved who cares. Half of fcuk all is still fcuk all.:)

    You could have at least picked a country with a non-recessionary theme. :D

    Seriously though, you'll be even happier when you get there. Lovely place.

    I have a kitten, well she's a bit bigger than a kitten now, but she's still the sweetest thing ever!

    And I've mended some friendships that had been pretty crap recently and I just recently passed my repeat exams!

    I'm going on a third date tomorrow with a guy I really like. And I invited him to my debs, so I'm delighted I finally have everything sorted!
    College is also a hundred times better than I ever could have expected. Things seem to be going my way :)
