    Good morning everyone :);)

    Great going with all the wombles :T:T:T

    Had a lovely day of wombles yesterday - A friends little portable TV has been on the blink for a while. Anyway, someone was moving out down the road and left a Sony TV outside for the rubbish men! Nothing wrong with it and it works perfectly. My friend is chuffed to bits - going to claim £50 for the find :);)
