Strange post bear with me: Next door neighbour asked me had I heard about how the local children that go to the comp had all been trauamtised? Nope said I. She said they were all waiting for their bus...
I am jumping on the bandwaggon here - probably a wedding forum is not the most appropriate place, but oh well
On the theme the other day of making money has anyone used music magpie? What sort of money did you make? Is it worth it? Do they take casettes??
