..............because you will be disappointed when you find the person concerned gave you some of the data themselves about a month ago!! I must be a VERY insignificant person.........I knew who they were straight away!! Merry

Hi Merry, I got one through hot matches with 7 matches, never seen the name before (jumped around the room) but it turned out to be a guy I speak at least once a week and he had only changed his nick name on here! Lou

Oh Jess.....I do hope things get sorted for you........A real '£%*&'£$'%% to find out at the end of a friday afternoon.......Maybe it will all be resolved on Monday? Otherwise the chap will lose his deposit (and maybe something else, if you get hold of him?) won't he? Fingers really crossed hard for you....... Merry
