Oooh, I like post!

In this morning's post, in 3 batches I found:

1) a parcel left in the bin cupboard: this is my box of nice chocs. I think I'm going to save them for a while.

2) a new credit card from first direct. I applied for it cos Nationwide were taking forever and I wasn't sure they wouldn't turn me down. Now I have 3, since I decided to keep the egg one after all. This seems like overkill really! I think I shall take a while to decide which is most convenient and then cancel the others. Nationwide has the best cashback, 1% for the first 6 months and 0.5% thereafter. First Direct has the nicest card: matte black!

3) my box of books from amazon.fr (first 4 harry potters and TLOTR, all in French): lucky I was late out of the house this morning since I had to sign for it and if I'd been on time I'd have just got a card and had to go chase it up at the depot. Oooh, can't wait to read them :-) (When I've finished King Rat at least, which I'm really getting into now).

Actually I think at this rate I may soon be able to return all the books I've borrowed from Jan: I think I've decided "en attendant Godot" is a bit beyond my capabilities in French for the meantime, might try it again once I've had some practice with my new lighter selection of reading matter.

credit cards

I've just taken the plunge and got a credit card from the Co-op (who are nice and friendly) for paying off work expenses and such. It doesn't do fancy cashback things, but it does donate money to Amnesty International, which is a Good Thing (tm).
It also looks quite nice :).

Um, thanks for the ad, but I think I might just have enough of them already...

Sorry, that wasn't meant to sound like I was trying to pressure you into getting one...
