Finished!

Yes you read correctly Matronly Duties is finished. I am going to admit when it was done I think I was hit by a bout of nerves which was accompanied by some nausea.

Of course works not over yet. Now I have to go back and read it from the start editing all my typo's as I go oh and fix some of my really bad grammatical habits. I hate words that end in -ly, just saying.

Okay off to celebrate my nations birth. Happy Australia Day!!!!

Until next time
