I played monopoly all afternoon with beth and pegs...we tried to get daisy to play too, but she was having none of it. beth had loads of property and if she hadn't lost interest and wandered off to text her boyfriend she probably would have won. peggy declared (by accident) that she loved the bank at one point when she passed go and collected her £200.
