No.10 of the special ten signing in for the first time this week.
Thank you for the lists Dusty and JJ.
I haven't been slacking this week, I've just been sorting family problems. However, the house still looks relatively clean and tidy. Just as well because today is packing day for holidays tomorrow.
Off to get breakfast before I get started.
See you later
