I was returning to the UK on a business flight today, and while thumbing through their flight shop magazine, saw 6 pairs of 18 carrot gold (plated!) earrings that I really wanted.
When the air stewardess came down the aisle to take everyone's orders, I asked if I could have them. Making conversation, she asked "Are you buying them as a christmas present?" Usually this is the excuse I would have offered up before anybody even asked, but today I decided to be brave and replied "No, actually they are for me". She smiled and replied "good choice, I think they will look great on you!". This put a smile on my face and put me in a good mood for the rest of the trip!
I am pleased with myself and feel like I've taken another little step forward today. Here are the earrings by the way, for anyone interested:
