done. actually done. will photocopy the ms in the morning and send it off in the afternoon (pickup is arranged, at a horrifying €106.58, for arrival on Friday, a day later than it's supposed to be, but nobody could guarantee it on Thursday for any price).

Oh my lord! Does it usually cost that much for you to send manuscripts?

This is particularly appalling. But then, it's a 6.5 pound manuscript going overseas as close to overnight as I can get it. I could've spent as much as, oh,€25 less for some other variant of relatively quick mail, but nobody else could be sure it'd get there Friday. It's outrageous.

I luff your icon. :)

Yeah. I'll have to sell about 160 copies of the book just to cover that postage. :)

Yay for done! Boo for money! (I've spent fifty quid a time to get proofs safely & swiftly to the States - I guess they just weighed less. It's still shocking. There must surely be a way to do this electronically...?)

Also I love your splatted-cat icon. My Sophie used to sleep like that, face down in the duvet...

Seeing manuscript typed 'ms' reminds me of Emily of New Moon. I like it. I suppose it's a writer thing.
