    I hope you feel better too Jen.

    You've been on a roll mm! I've got my own good news, I won £22 on the free jackpot joy game this morning, and I won the dragon on BB which gave me £75! Oh, and I sold a bracelet which made me £12.50, plus another £12 from some discounted jewellery I sold my friend.
