The delightful Emma from Fawdington's called me at five past nine lastnight (!) to tell me that my beautiful Chili red Mini ONE had arrived and that I could go and see it anytime I wanted.

I'm off to see it at five tonight, I'm SO excited!

I don't know how I will cope with the three week wait I have before I get to pick it up on the 1st March!!!!

I havn't felt like this since Christmas '88!

well, I was 8 years old and while I was in bed on Christmas eve I saw my dad take a shiny new mountain bike out of the loft and take it downstairs.....needless to say I knew it was for me and I didn't get a wink of sleep that night! I didn't think it was possible to feel that kinda excitement as an adult! It's quite desperately sad in a way...

Terrible that you have to wait so long for delivery, when it's right there WAITING... but at least you can visit. Mine just arrived this morning, but it's way too far away to visit (over 80 miles).... *sigh* Picking her up on Valentine's Day, though!
