Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -

Rant alert!
Just looking to see when the live shows start for strictly and they mention "Reverend Richard Coles". Is it me or is his title "The Reverend Richard Coles"?

Hmmmnnn. What do you do if a person doesn't collect a "collect only" ebay item?
I have reminded them once (said her courier would be in touch asap, but nothing).0 -

Success on the singing!0 -
