Re: checklist

Rinnie, that list is making me a little ill... lol

So much to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a little notebook that's blank that I've been using to take notes in from the start. It's great for keeping track of ideas and prices and things as they come up. I think I need to make a 'what's left to do' list soon.

I also think if I get caught on here at work I'm going to get in loads of trouble. err
