So anyways he decided to tell me last night we are changing from Sky to Virgin because their top speed is quick or something, and they are coming next Thursday to sort out my V-box and internet...and the Sky internet will stop tomorrow argggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhh no internet for a week!!!! argggggggggggggggggghhhh think I need a good divorce solicitor, oh I could of cried...but anyways if I go missing you now know why...I'm in prison for murder lololol
