It's not unusual for me to go into a store•to buy something, and end up with three small itemv and ask for three separate receipts; which is a sure way to become unpopular in a super- market. And sometimes I find a dollar in a pocket and wonder what I had it for. Usually, I can trace it, but not always. It's often because I paid for something from my own Minister's study money, rather than from my petty cash fund. And that means the fund owes me money. Oh joy! When it's near the end •. of the month.

The other day I collected a dollar more than I expected and was pleasantly surprised - and I double-checked my arithmetic to make sure I wasn't gypping the fund. Life is full of such surprises. Women tell me that they have difficulty doing the spring cleaning because they decide to go through some old things and find so many friendly old mementos that they had forgotten that it starts them off on a chain of daydreams. and -they forget the reason they started to investigage.

It's full of surprises some pleasant, some not so. Maybe you'll find you have something coming to you, or maybe you'll find you owe it something, . but I'll guarantee it won't be quite what you expected. Or don't you like being surprised?
