give 30,000 cheers!!!
I was quite close

but someone has deleted their account in the past few days and I’m now down a few hundred cheers or so.

Would like to find out who it was (if possible)

:(



get a new phone
Old phone broke

so had to go for a slightly early upgrade. Changed from HTC Desire to Samsung Galaxy SII.

Too early to say which I prefer as they are quite different…
