    DeniseF - don't worry about things staying on your list for weeks... I have work reminders that are currently 42 weeks overdue :o

    Ha ha, thanks, good to know I'm not the only one. I know what you mean though - I haven't added them all and I have been meaning to do some bits for what seems like forever! Some I really must do, like drum up work more local to me - I hate marketing so keep putting it off - why is it when your SE do you have to do everything? (I do know really, but I hate it soooo much...)
