Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 4,621 Send Message	Gosh, sometimes its a very small world. Not sure what mine did unfortunately. Oh we might have been butchers. - I will re-phrase that lol, think some of them could have been in the meat trade (butchers). Still does not look right lol. Now Taff and Loptop no quarrelling! (But would love to know what Cyfarchion means lol). Tina xxx

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 3,307 Send Message	Happy St David's day. Went to local Morrisons this morning,and the Marie Curie collectors were out in force with their daffodils,which was a bit of good thinking,and in the store a lady was going round with free little buttonholes of daffs. I have loads out in the garden,and they have been for over a month now! Brenda x x
