Okay, mushy story alert here...so if you aren't up for that, don't read.
I declare Ebay the guardian of my sanity the last days (in some ways, at least, figuring out clues is a whole different insanity!). You see, I was really down and even would say depressed, anxiety attacks and everything. Won't get into it but it wasn't pretty.
Then, the day the watches were up for prizes I got into the hunt and thought it was brilliant! It kept my mind busy, I had fun, was thinking on other stuff than bad stuff and basically had a way better day!
And I met some really nice people here, have been chatting in the same thread and had a good laugh there as well.
Sure enough I haven't won anything (and actually lost money on some sales I did through a friends account - I just have a buyer account- when I tried get some money to buy Christmas pressies) but the important thing is that I have been having fun, which is a first in weeks, and feel a lot better!
So thank you Ebay, for your generosity, your initiative, this forum, and for coming up with all those strange clues and all!
I even reached one of the prizes as nr 15 and feel all proud of that :-D.
Oh, and thanks as well for mentioning me under the Mince Pies :^O *beams*
This is a real challenge, esp for a Duchie. Brilliant!
