If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

Hi all,I am her pops (dad) as she calls me,she rearly did get a bargain £800 for everything,I said to her she had stole it at that price,I did feel sorry for the person she got it from,as he did not have a clue about the van,and had spent a lot of money for all the stuff you need,all she needs is her clothes and beding,its just a perfect unit for her and steve,they are a great couple and love drink and a laugh at weekends,so I know she and steve will love vanning,she also likes to do a bit of carioky,and she aint too bad either,well enough said by me so prob you will soon see them about.

Think this year is to follow old meet friends for 2014.
If you cant do someone a good turn,don`t do them a bad one,its nice to be nice you know,and little things mean much more later in life.
