Bernadette, our cash total doesn't seem correct. Starting and ending balances didn't match up on the last turn.
Laura, ahhh - you are paying attention😂😂Michelle did not post one of our rolls in between rolls. I also just updated message #352 because we needed to buy a house on all three yellow properties, and I originally posted us buying only on 2 of them. Here is the updated string of rolls and bank balance:

"I forgot to post one of our rolls the other day/night to the team thread. So when the next one was posted the total was off in the thread. It was correct on the SS, but not here.
I'm so glad you all know what you are doing. 🤣🤣
