Yeah, that's a great idea. I'm establishing my bank account this week that has a British affiliate, so I can use the ATM without a buttload of a charges, but I didn't think of doing that! Thanks!
And no, not yet. I've been trying to book it, but my Mom absolutely refuses to do it yet. I keep telling her to do it now and save a good deal of money, but she won't. Oh well. It's going to hurt her, not me. I tried.
EDIT: Oh my god, Matalan is really good. That's exactly the kind of shop I wanted. It doesn't have a big selection, but it some of the things I need like bath mats and towels for really cheap. Thanks a bunch!
