    Hi Lisa ( my Sister who's not neveah )

    Just start small and work your way up, i know you won't have internet now until the morning but just try level 1 to start . Once you get into it it gets quicker and easier. To get the list on to your post you copy it from page 1, click go advanced in the answer box thingy and paste it. Good luck xx
