Those aren't mine, they belong to SWMBO and she sells NOTHING!

WorldTimer prototype still in its box, she still hasn't worn it or the Orange C60 , so nearly £2k wasted there. :? She has around 20 CW's, none of which get worn anymore.

All of my stuff has gone, some sold, some given away, some gone to the charity shops.
