big, Big, BIG news!

So, big news I am now the owner of a brand new paradigm 712 :) (there's a pic of it in my photos) I'm pretty excited about it, the story of how i received this pump is kind of complicated. Basically, it was donated to me by the girlfriend of a friend's brother, told it was complicated haha. To make a long story short she had heard i was in need and told me that her parents had bought her a back up pump that she had never used, she asked them if they cared if she gave it to me, they said of cours… Continue
