Today I recieved money in the mail...

Ok, so, knowing I am a dreamer, this should be like a dream come true, right? Free money in the mail!!!! Well, let me tell you, I have never been so upset over something, ever. Don't worry, it's not an inheritance or something like that. It's more complicated...ok, here it goes, 5 and a half years ago, I got married and got a gift certificate from my family, to have a piece of furniture made by a cousin of mine. It was worth 1000.- Not bad! I was happy, but we didn't need anything doing at the time. A year later, we moved and we wanted a table done. We asked for something that wouldn't cost much more than our certificate was worth, but it couldn't be done. We let it lie. Last year we moved again (this is Switzerland people-I don't own a house!!) and I asked about some cupboards. I never got an answer. Today, I get a letter in the mail saying, because we haven't talked about the certificate anymore, he decided to send us the money back. Up to here, everything is fine...until I look at the money. 420.- Ok do you know of any company, bank, whatever, that takes interest from your money, because they are holding it? And honestly, if I had known this were the case, don't you think I would have wanted it before it lost all it was worth? So there you go, I could get myself a really decent pair of shoes, even a Hermes belt, or I can go to IKEA and get myself half a cupboard, but I am just so, arrrrgggghhh, boiling inside!!! I think I will spend it on baking supplies...at least something good will come of it-and I will feel better about having it...still waiting for my supplies by the way...and at my second ganache to harden. Ugh, what a start to the day...
