PS. Are you sure you deleted your Amazon wishlist? i plugged your name in a while back and found a listing in your city – as there was a lamb item listed i assumed it was yours. If it isn’t, no problem, but if it is i wanted you to know that it still exists and is searchable.
you’re right! I’m still there! Here is the link if that helps! It’s a bit outdated though..I’ll tweak it soon.
