    I was given Jenny Nimmo’s The Snow Spider for my 9th birthday.

I've been chasing a payment from two schools for three months now. In the old days, you'd get a cheque in the post. Why is it so much harder now they can transfer?

In other news, I now get to watch THE PRINCESS BRIDE for work purposes. Who says it's rubbish being a writer?
