So sorry to anyone who has friend-requested me and not received a reply. Unread friend requests are automatically rejected after a couple of weeks, annoyingly (I don't know why!) - so I don't always manage to approve all of them in time. So if that happens, just drop me a message and I'll add you again... Also, messages may take a few weeks to get read - I'm just getting a lot of myspace stuff through right now, with limited timeframe. I will always read and reply to everything though! The quickest way to reach me is via email, or through tomkerswill.co.uk ...
