I put my friends and myself in a sticky situation, once I lost my visas when I travel overseas.
Great work, Tanya!
Very useful expression!By the way, what is difference between finish off and finish up?Thank you.
Hey mate, they’d be exactly the same.
Finish up sounds more like as a complete end of the task,finish off softer maybe more a task of many to do ……
