        Then keep my ordering of two T-shirts, size L will be enough (I hope).

        Then there is a problem, as I don't know how I could pay in GBP,
especially with cheques. If the payment happens before the end of the
year, can you help me, Irina? I will pay you in guilders and you will
send the cheque for us both. If not, I'll see what I can do with my bank
but that's gonna be tricky (my relations with this bank are a little
tensed).
