confidence

My grandaughter was getting married an we were staýing a hotel so I went to the bank drew out £600 pounds, put it in my purse put the purse in my handbag and the handbag in a fourwheeled shopping trolley with the top cover down.
I then went into Bon marche and suddenly my face was covered with a cloth and I stumbled. My bag was taken from my trolley and of course the money with it. This has tottaly shattered my confidence. I am normallly a self confident out going lady but this experience has really shattered me.

No wonder your confidence is shattered sallysmum .
I was robbed once by a young man on a motor bike and ever since only carry cash in a waist purse, under my jacket.

sallysmum oh no that's dreadful. I hope you are getting over it don't let the **** beat you. Stay strong. xx

Two week ago I had to take my old car to the Dealers as it had had a recall (something to do with the airbag)

So booked it in (no cost to me) left it there for few hours whilst I pottered round the shop.

They rang to say car was ready and could they have little chat

The little chat was>>>>> as the car was in at the dealers they do a "Free Health Check"
They found

My oil was a bit too high and could cause damage (my oil was changed two years ago by qualified mech)

My front tyre was wearing down and will need replacing .
soon.

My back number plate bulbs were not working ( they could do it now for £14.99)!!

My headlights had deteriated and needed re doing(the plastic deteriates and makes the lense cloud over) cost £145.00!!

Also they could offer me a service and free M.O.T £135!!

"Would you like us to sort these things out for you now whilst you wait"???

No thank you I replied. as I did the headlights myself last year at a cost of £3-00 and a bit of free time.

The number plate bulbs I can buy for £1.99 each and replace them myself

My tyre has 3.7 ml on yet and the car has not long had M.O.T

The oil (if! it was too high, I can go find my basting pippette and draw off some of the oil)

Was it because they saw a 64 yr old woman coming in to collect her 15 yr old car?? I don't know!! did I have MUG written on my forehead! Noooo not that day lol. I surprised myself actualy.

But going back to confidence, yes we do loose it unless we use it.
I think various things can cause lack of confidence.
For me it was/is grief.

This year I will try and boost up my confidence throughout the year.
