Well done on a great gig, Rob!
1/15 for me please.Woke up fresh but instead of living life at 100 miles an hour today I am going to work out, potter and do a few jobs (flylady forum), do an inventory (reverse meal planning forum) and calculate my April budgets (grocery forum challenge).So much has changed in the 5 days I’ve been on this site. Remarkable.Have a great day, everyone
