QUOTE I loved the article on dirt. Per chance was that authored by anyone we know?

Of course!

Can't think of many Ladies that are on here that come from down-under...

Hi Ember

As I said in my PM - Lulu uses (I believe) different printers throughout the world, so yours, I would think, was done at a different location from mine. Mine came out perfect - only the front cover being a tad dark. Don't forget to send me that email when you get the chance

Also, I've just received this email from LULU:

Enter coupon code SUNSHINEUK305 at checkout and receive 20% off your order. The maximum savings for this coupon is 250 Pounds. Offer good towards print costs only - shipping and tax amounts are excluded. You can only use the code once per account, and you can't use this coupon in combination with other coupon codes. This great offer ends on 30 June 2011 at 11:59 PM so try not to procrastinate! While very unlikely we do reserve the right to change or revoke this offer at any time, and of course we cannot offer this coupon where it is against the law to do so. Transaction must be in Pounds.

Is this only open to me or is it something anyone can use. I'm going to use it to buy three copies for someone else that doesn't use the internet.
