DearSanta Reveal!
The dearsanta grand reveal has now taken place, and I can finally reveal that I wrote Triosome for zeldaophelia - A PG-13 Neville/Ginny/Luna and Seamus/Parvati/Lavender fic set in the first term of the Deathly Hallows.

Up, up and away
The petrol prices at the supermarket fuel station nearest to where I live seem to be going up daily at the moment. On Monday it was 101.9p per litre for basic unleaded. Yesterday morning on the way to work I noticed it had gone up to 102.9p. And this morning it was 103.9p per litre*. Hope it doesn't continue that trend ( Read more... ) -

The deadline is today, I think, but I'm sure ( Read more... ) -

Accomodation problems
I am having massive problems sorting out accomodation in Edinburgh a week on Saturday for both the Black family and hiddenhibiscus's family. We have the train tickets all booked (non-transferable) to arrive Saturday afternoon, but we have nowhere to stay currently, and everywhere I've tried is full Saturday night, but okay from Sunday onwards. I rang the ( Read more... ) -
