This week has been rather dominated by the prep work for my first premium webinar (on section 21 notices) which finally took place yesterday (Friday).
It was supposed to take place on Thursday, but unbeknown to me my headset had somehow broken so when I tried to do the webinar on the Thursday no-one could hear anything but electrical hissing and crackles.
So a swift visit to PC World to get a new headset and then a second try. Which went reasonably well.
The replay is now online for people who signed up to the webinar to view. If you were one, you should have got an email by now with a link and the password.
