-If you are feeling sick, please indicate that in earlier messages and do not handle the cash without gloves.
PLEASE EVERY1 It is very importent that we follow the instructions of ABC’s health reporter Dr Norman Swan when it comes to social distencing.
– We will be updating protocol in adherence with the government’s standards. Very big chance I will have the kids next week so will only be free after 5pm when their mother gets home. Plese stay safe ever1 and god bless.”
