Why bix, you little schemer, you!

The lovely and talented bix recently offered to "lend" me her copy of Audrey Niffenegger's new novel, Her Fearful Symmetry and asked for my address, which I eagerly and gratefully supplied

And yoooouuuuu are so welcome! There should be a note inside explaining that you MORE than deserve your own copy. It was supposed to arrive tomorrow; I'm delighted that under the circumstances (VERY trying day) that it came early.

Now, hurry up and read it so we can discuss!

I did see the note, you wonderful human being, you. ::squeeshes::

Meanwhile, I've gotten this far in refining The Plan: we buy all kinds of neat food items and Cadbury desserts at various markets from Tesco to Brompton, and cook them at home (since we will stay in a place with a kitchen). We satisfy our clothing desires with trips to Trimark, which is like H&M only most things are 2 to 10 pounds, NOT KIDDING. Okay, so our Food Budget and Cute Clothes Budget are both affordable. Now, on to plane tickets and the fact that you have a family you love and might be loathe to leave...

I haven't heard of Trimark. I did hear the US is getting a Topshop, though. That cracked me up! Cooking at home is definitely the thing to do, especially if Cadbury desserts are involved. O plane tickets. That will be the big thing, won't it. But it will be worth it!!!
