Move Over Amazon...

...because i have found Australia's answer to Amazon.co.uk and it is none other than Fishpond! I'm a sucker for buying books and NLP audio books and i usually had to result to ordering them online from Amazon because most bookshops here didn't carry stuff like those. Although Amazon is a bit cheaper because i can get lots of second hand copies, the whole shipping issue and the drama of having all my international purchases leading to me having to pay custom charges - which hasn't ever happened but i'm really scared of - usually means that i have to schedule my purchases so it doesn't look like i never shop in Australia. But they have everything i want including Grand Designs, Pride & Prejudice, French Women Don't Sleep Alone. Plus you get free shipping on orders over $49!!! They even say on their site that they are better than Amazon!!! Well, i'll be the judge of that as i'll soon be ordering a few items from them....

My Ideal Partner

If someone asked me to describe my ideal life partner by picking someone who's alive today, my choice would definately have to be KEVIN McCLOUD. Some of you might find him ok-ish or ugly but i think he's absolutely hot and sexy; he can toast my bread anytime that's for sure ;). He embodies everything i love and dream of in my ideal partner. He's an architect, a bit of a geek and a huge movie fan, is a Brit, slightly whimsical and cocky, speaks fluent french and has an absolute fascination with houses and is always willing to learn something new in relation to architecture. He's the host and narrator of the British TV show Grand Designs and i've seen most of the series and also the very first one so i'm definately aware of his physical changes between 1999 and the present. I have to say he does come across like fine wine; they get better with age and so does he. But most of all, he is older than i am and i have a thing for guys who are about 10 years my senior. He also seems to know how to take care of himself and dress - no 5am shadow on his face as far as i'm aware.
