Has everybody else received their reading list? I checked mine recently and was depressed (on an economic level) to see how many books were on it, mostly books I've never even heard of (which isn't so rare, since most of the books I read are pretty well known). Anyway, I scoured Amazon shortly after, picking up every book I find (in the end I got all of them, minus 2-3, for about 30£). I even managed to get a copy of the Great Gatsby for 1p, which I thought was some pretty darn good shopping.
Anyway, I got an email through this morning saying that all payments have been DECLINED, much to my utter gobsmackification. At first I was just confused, but about ten minutes later I realised why. The card I registered on Amazon is about four months expired and I needed to register the new one. It's all sorted now, thank goodness, I think I'd cry if after all the time I'd spent comparing sites was wasted.
Speaking of shopping, I went to Tesco with my Dad this morning and was taken aback by just how meticulously organised our list making skills have become. We started making lists in the back when, when my mother came shopping with us and got so distracted the offers on show that she forgot what we were supposed to be buying. Now our lists have numbered items, in the order we'll find them on the shelves o_0. I wasn't sure whether to think it was amazing or extremely sad.

I lost my bank card earlier this year and tried to order on Amazon and got declined. At first I thought it was because I'd been robbed then i realised I had a new card.

I haven't even thought about buying my books yet DX
Lol I always make lists for stuff too. Clearly you have been hanging out with me too much! :p
