Trouble

The first day we arrived at my friend J's house her youngest daughter, the precocious E informed me that I had forgotten to send her a birthday present back in January.
Fail!
I instantly promised to take her shopping one day during the week and we arbitrarily settled on Wednesday.
E has the memory of a hefalump and this morning asked her mom what day it was, Wednesday she was told, to which she gleefully responded, "goody, Verena's taking me shopping today."
We hit Claire's first, then Paperchase and finally Lush, I refused to take her into Hotel Chocolat on the grounds that she still has Easter egg chocolate sitting on the sideboard!
