I did something reckless tonight. I blew all of my credit on my sim card calling Jackie and Holly. I can't believe it, but it had been so long since I'd talked to Jackie that I'd almost forgotten her sound! I hate that I didn't top up by 20 pound last time now, because then I'd still have another 10 pounds to work with right now. But my cheap ( Read more... )
