And it cost only $3.30 a serve.

Yeh he told me about the sites , spinner or something. He meets up a couple of times a week.
He dud say he was going to do a road trip to Darwin with one of the ladies , that must have fell through
I told him to be very careful . Slow and steady wins the race.
I was supposed to go to Melbourne last month for my nieces hens weekend.
But my daughter who has had a few miscarriages is pregnant , I can say it now as she is past the worry stage.

He didn’t do the road trip because he said he didn’t want to get red dust in his car he said he loves his car too muchI mean really.
Good news about your daughter that’s a relief for all concerned.
The sites called “stitches” he sent me some sites to check out but I’m not interested in online dating I’d rather just leave it in the hands of the gods so to speak.
