Spendling lots of money before breakfast
Oh the perils of the interweb. An email landed in my inbox from abebooks, offering various overpriced Chalet School books, and a hardback copy of Dorita Fairlie Bruce's The School in the Woods, for the low (!) price of £80 (the only other two hardback copies on there are nudging £400), I dithered for about two minutes, then my credit card came out and the deal was done. Now I just have to hope that the bookseller doesn't cancel the order. And if my finances aren't up to paying for it when the credit card bill comes in, I can always stick it on ebay, hopefully for a profit. But I'd really like to keep it.
