pay off credit card debt
Yikes - too much!

I’ve just did a rough total of my 3 cards and it is a little under $4,000. I’m now on a mission to reduce it asap. I feel quite ashamed. Will be trimming all unnecessary expenses starting now.

I need a miracle

Miracle: statistically unlikely but beneficial

Well I need one now. Everything’s up in the air. I’ve been in this city for 7 months and will likely have to move again. I like it here but my partner doesn’t. He is dissatisfied with his job and the weather and wants to move back to Sydney. My finances are in a precarious state and I am contemplating selling my apartment because am having trouble paying bills. I need to get to Sydney somehow in a couple of months to farewell a very good friend who is emigrating. But I don’t have much in the way of $$.

Can miracles happen?

One happened to me some years ago. I am hoping for another one (if it’s not too much to ask). I’ve looked at my astrology transits and they seem surprisingly good (can you tell I’m desperate). Will wait to see if it pans out.



Perform 10 random acts of kindness for strangers (read all 4 entries…)
Not sure if this counts

Last week I gave up a seat on the tram for an older gentleman. I don’t think very much of it, it’s just basic manners. Sometimes I see young people sitting on buses and trams and an old person is standing and looking frail. It’s sad really.

I usually find it’s women who give up their seats to old people and pregnant women. The men just typically sit there.
