Just a quick "By the way..."

Anyone willing to proof read and criticise my novel? It's about a doormat who finally gets walked all over one too many times and completely spazzes out, but in a good way. She max's out the cheating ex's credit cards, refunds the honeymoon into a new account of her own and then stages a small but funny sexual revolution. Any takers?

Is it selfish to want it if it will make me a nicer person?

My heart is breaking. My dearly beloved coffee machine has brewed its last drop and is now totally puckered. The money it would cost to repair it just doesn't compare to the amount of extra life I would get out of the machine so the dilemma is... can I justify the cost of a new baby? Retailing at a cool $1000, a replacement machine would actually save an addict of my calibre some serious money. $20 got me 3 lattes, a chai, a hot chocolate, a fluffy and loose change (after a discount) at my local and barely touched the sides. After trying to live without a machine for the last two weeks I have spent over $200 trying to compensate. This is not a happy state of affairs especially when you take into consideration that my eft-pos card decoded on Christmas eve and I've had to make no end of excuses to get my hands on cash for coffee. The big question is... being the all sacrificing mummy that I am, can I rise above and willing spend $1000 (but heavily discounted down to $699 for being such a loyal store customer) on something purely for my self? The jury is still out...
