    Thanks newgirly:D

    I've been reading your diary, its taken me over a week :rotfl: Nearly up to date now, but wow what a journey!:D

    Wow are you mad :eek: :rotfl::rotfl: it must be quite repetitive after eight years, going shopping, spent too much, drank to much etc. etc. :D

    Good luck with the vinyl, my two have been collecting them for the last couple of years and one son is a massive Beatles fan. Some are reasonable but it depends, he got an origional white album from my parents for Xmas (from their loft!) he was over the moon. But they are all so expensive now, my first album was £5.99 , those were the days.
    MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁

    Have you tried the record player out? We got one for DD1s birthday last year but it was running slow, a common fault with them it seems. We ended up returning it and got her a different gift altogether. We did manage to pick her up a different make in B&M for Christmas for £15 that works like a dream. She!!!8217;s thrilled with it. She!!!8217;s a huge Beatles fan too and we were lucky that an uncle of mine donated all his beatles collection to her.

    Hi Pooky,

    Not had a chance to try record player yet as I only ordered at the weekend and it has yet to arrive:) Will make sure I test it out as soon as it comes, thanks for the tip.
