First of all my apologies for taking a week to transfer our donation to the Turkey Syria Earthquake Appeal of the British Red Cross. While I did manage to dispatch all the items that were purchased in our charity sale, add the net proceeds and calculate the deductions through fees and postage *prior* to my…
The day has finally come! Tonight is the big night in my German-dominated household *hehe*.
