Good books

I would like to sing the praises of a little website called: www.goodbooksnz.co.nz

I just purchased my university textbooks there for cheaper than through Uni or Amazon, and with free shipping.

Oh, and with the profits going to charity!!

Huzzah for good websites :)

Intrepid journey

I have been trying to get a voice recorder for my uni lectures. I discovered that they were cheaper overseas, and ordered one from a site called "aussie deals" - just to clarify in case the name wasn't clear enough, that is Australian- and chose to ship the item via Australia Post - which, again, to clarify, is also Australian.
Then we received an email saying that our order had been confirmed, and we could go to the 'Fed Ex' (Fed Ex?!) website to track it. After typing in our order number, it came up that our parcel had left Plano,TX and was in transit.
PLANO, TX?!
America?!
And today when I checked up on the progress, our tiny wee voice recorder had tranvelled to Memphis, TN, on to Los Angeles, CA and is now winging its way across the ocean!!

What an exciting adventure!
