Gosh it's so cold in the mornings now. Yesterday was windy too and i nearly froze without a scarf around my neck. *sigh* it's always such a shock to the system, those first cold mornings waiting for the bus. I wish i didn't have to get used to it. I wish i lived somewhere where it wasn't *quite* so cold. It doesn't have to be a warm climate, and i actually don't mind frosty mornings that are wind-free but they are few and far between here.

I think i have all my gifts wrapped and packed, the ones that i have to put in the mail this week. Everything else can wait but the postman can't. I"m not even going to think about how much it's going to cost me! A few of them are very small and i just think of the cost of the postage plus stamps for cards as part of the overall Christmas budget :)

kixie, i am sending that Zadie Smith book so don't go buying it!

I had really good luck with Amazon.co.uk too. I know in the past i have seen a lot of people grumble about presents going missing or being out of stock even on early ordering. I put in an order on the weekend to be delivered to gramie_dee's dad's house (for safe keeping). It was dispatched on Monday and it arrived on Tuesday. According to the email, nothing was missing or "to send later". Guess i got lucky! I've only got two more gifts to buy, too and then i'm done! Yay Me!
