Nice gift from AD
Hi allMy AD contacted me to collect a letter mentioning my free PP service. When I went to collect the letter he gave me a gift, a lovely PP wallet! It really is gorgeous!Given that I have purchased the watch some time ago, I thought that was a lovely gesture. During a chat he mentioned it was his wife's birthday during Easter so to show my gratitude for all his help with my 5167 I gave him a gift of a Gourmet dining experience for two. I hope he chooses his wife to take with him LOL. CheersAnujSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
