I've been won! :D
One of the fics I offered up for the exchange_bingo has been claimed. Considering that there are only two bingos called, my head is SO BIG right now. I have one more fic up there, but even if it's the last prize picked, my head will stay big. XD
Now I'm waiting for the winner to decide on what they want me to write. I can't wait to see what they want. I hope it'll be something fun/interesting to do. :)

On a less "interesting" note, Maz and I decided that Kupo and I will stay home from the England trip (with the wedding) this time around. There are so many reasons for us not to go and the only reason to go, really, is that Maz doesn't like leaving us behind. So not a good enough reason. I mean, even disregarding the stress I'll feel over uprooting every few days and never having any downtime, there's the cost of the plane trips and train trips needed to get from Odense to London (and, for the wedding itself, London to Cambridge), the cost of a place to live on the days they can't put us up, the cost of new clothes for the wedding, the lack of time for anything fun, the lack of people that I know (as well as like, sorry to say) at the event itself, the problems of hauling a 2-year-old around, etc.
Not to mention that if I want to leave the country I need specific permission from the unemployment office and I won't get any money at all for the days I'm gone. It's currently our sole income, so having a month's money cut back with 1/3-1/2 plus all those other expenses is... simply too much, considering that I don't even want to go and that I'd probably be paralysed from the stress for a whole month after we got back.
I'd rather stay at home and then use some of the money we've been saving to take Kupo to some water world for a weekend stay or something equally fun and simple.
