Posted on December 29, 2006 by Mamapumpkin

I have it sussed. Ever since I became the secretary for a charity organisation I volunteer with, I've had to make dozens of phone calls to Government agencies in order to keep ourselves legal. It is no picnic but I no longer stress.......click to learn what next.
