Thanks :) las went okay, got through to round 2 - will post a tidied up version soon - well either today or tomorrow, because after that it's off to the relatives.

5 day without the net is a bit annoying, but it's the lack of any free time to write or even be on my own for a few minutes that's the most wearing. Still it's only once a year, and I get the feeling that a lot of it will be spent trying to stop Alexander climbing the christmas tree or similar.
