I need to post my November book list but I still have 2 reviews to write and no time to really sit down and do it properly! My reviews have been really rushed of late.

So the poll results were very conclusive: font size is fine, shut up. Good to know; I'll stop worrying about it then.

Today I got up early to finish my assignment that was due today but I only got so far as putting the toast in the toaster and turning the coffee maker on when the power went off. In every room but the kitchen and bathroom. Go figure ( Read more... )

In case I forget or don't have a chance tomorrow: Happy birthday extongardener! Hope you have a good one Mum *Hugs* (Oh the box arrived! Mmmm chocolate.... Oh my, Dick Smith makes TimTams!
