'ER INDOORS'
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A DAC DRIVER'S WIFE...
Hello everyone...
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a healthy, happy and together
prosperous Christmas and New Year. May I also thank you for reading my
madcap column which I hope you have enjoyed, or at the very least, that it
has made you realise how lucky you are not to have to come home to this

Cabbies Wives at Christmas
Christmas is descending and there is plenty for us poor DaC cabbies wives

be getting a rain jacket as a Christmas gift. I think that this is a lovely
idea and I can't wait for my DaCman hubby to get his so that I can wear

2001...
