Lost one of my Kids a couple of hours ago. The little honey coloured one Wombat was having fun with a couple of weeks ago. Don't know if it was a snake, or a Heart attack. At least it was very quick. Still got Angel. I guess I'll survive. Cheers, Sheba.

In a previous thread, I made this comment. Regardless of the fact that the stock in hand has already been paid for , the price of fuel goes up straight away, [they've already paid for it at the old price].
