You know when things have been a bit stty in your life and you're a bit down?

Then suddenly something happens which just perks up your spirits?

Well, it has just happened.

Many of you will remember the threads about the trouble with my ex. She moved her ex husband back into the house after we split and everything went a bit pear shaped for me, the whole panic with the "I'm pregnant" thing etc.

Well they've just had their car towed for not paying the tax and it was crushed this morning.

Ahhhhhh nice smile

Anyone else received some cheery stories?

Actually, I did not PR, I knew nothing of it until 20 mins ago.

I imagine you'd feel even better if you had reported it.

If you really wanted to rub salt into the wounds, go don to a scrap yard, buy a badge of the same make and just leave it somewhere obvious in a little ribbon bow.

Sounds like Karma to me. I haven't got any thing like this at the moment, but I'm a firm believer in Karma and "what goes around, comes around".

Bet it was a crappy motor. But all the same - uplifting bit of news.

Youve got to believe in something I guess, however, if things are only looking up due to a bit of Schadenfreude, I'd say they have been living rent-free in the OP's head for far too long.

OOohhhh, an Alfa badge, in a nice jewellery box, with a ribbon wrapped around it, left on their front step.

If you really want to feel good about something, do this.

For extra marks, put a tyre-print across the front too.

Nothing better than other people's misfortune, just ask any German person. wink

Lovely. Karma is great, isn't it Al? Hope you feel better mate. Now at least you can focus on your own things with a much clearer head and a smug grin. smile

Oh yes I do enjoy a little karma every now and then. But remember it can go both ways
