Pam F. is the winner of the $20 Amazon.com gift card. She’ll use it to birthday gifts for her little sister. (Cue the girl noise: Awwww!) Thanks to all who entered.
I entered two blog carnivals this week and was happy to get into both:
- “My credit card got hacked” is in the Carnival of Money Stories, hosted by Squirrelers.
- “A frugal traveler’s best friend,” one of my posts at MSN Money Smart Spending, is in the Festival of Frugality at Money Beagle.
On the train ride to Cornwall today I met a delightful woman who has traveled extensively and once shot photos of a tiger while riding on an elephant. She suggested accompanying me to Paris on a day trip (boy, does that sound weird) this weekend or, if the Chunnel train tickets are too costly, to tour me around Windsor (the region, not the castle).
