Oh Jean
I'm a rubbish friend! I didn't even realise that Frank had gone in as I've hardly looked at the site recently.
It sounds like he's on his way up though and you'll be surprised how it will change now….probably not too long before he'll reach that magic number.
How are you doing with it all? I always felt for Nick….he'd travel 3…[Read more]
