yesterday was...

A good day for:

Kim Kay Perisie, who, despite facing a prison sentence of up to 25 years for offering a man $500 to kill her husband, is still in love with him, and he with her. "Love is a state of insanity anyway," claimed Stephen Perisie, who won $3m on the lottery in 1990. He was offended by the price his wife put on his head. "She tried to be very cheap about this," he said.

A bad day for:

Southern Electricity, which faces a claim that ghosts were responsible for Sharon McGrath's pounds 900 electricity bill. According to Ms McGrath, they turned on lights and electrical equipment and shredded telephone directories and bills at her Isle of Wight house. A spokesman for Southern Electricity said: "This is the first time we have had a high bill blamed on a ghost."
