Hey everyone, after 15 years I am moving on from The Spencer. Can I just say, I will miss some of the crazy things you guys do. So many of you were just passing through and you ended up staying and becoming part of The Spencer family.

Here are some of the things you would have heard me saying.

"Can you please pay your rent"

"Can you please wash your dishes".

"Please don't vomit on the carpet"

"Don't smoke in your room"

"Girls, I don't want to sound like your father but..."

"Clean your freakin' dorm room up"

It's been a blast.

Stay Spencer
