I've decided to cancel it.

Hmph.

Rang NatWest, got transferred around, perfectly nice man agreed that there was a boo-boo and reversed the charges. He also put a note on so if I got charged again (from the charge overdrawing me) I could phone up and have it reversed without any trouble.

PS, birthday now un-cancelled, but plotting use of accumulated guilt to ensure good anniversary. :-)

1) Could bookshops decide whether David Sedaris is fiction or humor, please? Last time I was in Borders, he was filed under Fiction; now, it's humor. Foyles had none of his books in Fiction (where they used to be) but I couldn't even find a relevant section in Humor (which in Foyles is separated by type).

Maybe Foyles should do a bookshop equivalent of the computerized card catalog. I know you can just go ask, but I hate doing that (and often you get wrong answers, even in Foyles. Actually, they had a job ad in the window. They wanted a degree, experience, and knowledge of one of the 2nd floor subjects. Pay: £12K. Ow.) I must have the same gene that makes men incapable of stopping to ask for directions. Actually I won't do that either...

2) Stood in Sainsburys, thought "i need something else", remember thinking as I came in that my bags would be heavy with the things I needed to buy. Looked at the bottles, thought "no, must be mistaken".

Get home, remember I wanted another bag of flour. D'oh.

i think this pan was not cleaned as well as it should've been... the brownies I just made taste slightly off. The last thing cooked in them was (I think) roast potatoes. In goose fat.

this would explain the off taste.... nothing else could, I know the butter, chocolate, eggs etc were fine!

More annoyingly, they've given me a raging toothache on the lower left, particularly LL6/19/first molar. I think that's one I need filled, actually... surprised there's room in there for any more fillings!
