Oh the gods are smiling on me

Oh the gods are smiling on me today.

I'm usually a bit if a scruff, little make-up, thin menopausal hair, jeans and jumper gal. But I'm meeting a friend and, if I say so myself, I've scrubbed up pretty well.

AND, I've hit off a train and bumped into an ex-boss who totally screwed me over when I had the audacity to get pregnant and had just had a premature, poorly baby.

I always thought I'd have a go if I ever saw her, but instead I played it really cool, pretended I hadn't recognised her (which I know she'd hate) and loved the fact she was obviously suprised at how good I looked (last saw her 20 years ago).

I'm honestly not a petty person but feel pretty damn good atm.

Sometimes, just sometimes, we catch a break.

Anyone had similar?

I love that feeling! I saw an ex boyfriend once when I was looking drop dead gorgeous, and did the whole 'sorry, who are you?' routine, followed by 'I didn't recognise you at all, you've changed a LOT.' It gave me great satisfaction because he was an arse to me back in the day.
