When I first started surfing I visited loads of sites and collected 'beans' which could be cashed -eventually!  They needed a password so I chose 'Ruinner' and its bean runner ever since    ;D

To be continued
I never cashed my beans - the scheme folded and I never even learned how to spell my password     Maybe that's why I had trouble accessing some of the sites I visited!!!!

My sister is also a Rootschatter and known as Rowdy Girl she is older than me so to make it easier to recognise each other I picked Rowdy Jnr.

I am her baby sister after all! ;D
