  • BB does DS know you and his dad met up?

    I guess it will be a new thing for him to see you both working as a team.

    Great news that he seems to have grown up a bit.

    Spends yesterday were £3.45 in costa, £5.50 for the car park :eek: £40 on a new home phone (ours has packed up and I've already overspent hugely on my minutes this month because I'm using my mobile instead). The phone will come out of my birthday money.
