    Hey CAFC. Well done on the cards! I'm looking forward to shredding couple of mine when I remember to take them to bf's. I don't use them, they were for balance transfers, but still looking forward to doing it as a symbolic gesture and for the sheer satisfaction of seeing them in shreds!:D

    Hope Gordon is ok. Poor puppy.
