Today's achievement.

I'm frightened of phone calls and avoid taking/making them where possible. Sometimes, though, I have to. If I had my own way, I never would.

The EP for Paradise (What About Us?) by Within Temptation was released on iTunes yesterday and my dad kindly bought me a giftcard so I could get it but before I could, I was asked the answers to my security questions. Sadly, I couldn't remember the answers so I looked up what to do.

It turned out I had to phone Apple Support in order to reset my security questions. It made me feel physically sick. I wanted to start crying.

This afternoon, I took the plunge and went to the support section of their website. I hovered the Talk To Apple Support Now button and pressed it. I got a call immediately.

The advisor I got was brilliant. I managed to reset my security questions and bought Paradise (What About Us?) EP immediately along with some songs by other bands.

I ended up looking on Argos and found the 3D Hello Kitty mug I had wanted for a while at a reduced price so I decided to get it as a little reward to myself.

In case anyone's interested, the app I used is called Afterlight.

I'm so proud of myself right now. I'll leave you with the video for Paradise (What About Us?). The EP contains three demos from the band's upcoming album. Listen to it in full on Spotify and if you like what you hear, buy it. As far as I'm aware, it's only available on iTunes so if you don't already have an account there, you'll have to create one.
