I can’t think where this week has gone to, it seems only a minute or two ago that I was doing last week’s roundup.
I have been doing quite a lot of promotional stuff this week.
For example did you know that there are seven free things you can use on Landlord Law – without having to be a member?
I have also been doing some quite neat little cartoon style videos for some of the other pages – like this one.
