              That is generally true! Be lucky - it's an easy skill to learn - Telegraph

              Personality tests revealed that unlucky people are generally much more tense than lucky people, and research has shown that anxiety disrupts people's ability to notice the unexpected.

                      I had similar time wasters when I advertised my car through Autotrader last year, in the end I sold it to webuyanycar.com not the best price obviously but certainly a lot less hassle
