    could you put the prep times then on the actual recipe page write a note, or do you think that is too messy?

    :)so sian, how should we describe it?

    35+40/25 kinda thing?

    I'd say yes. If someone is looking at the column to see if they have enough time to start the recipe, they need to have the full timings there else they'll be left with a kitchen full of overflowing dough while they are at work or whatever !

    no I don't think it's anything to be sorry about arty, just it's important feedback if some of the changes are less, useful/noticeable to our key readers/users/stakeholders than I might realise.

    Helps me to work out if I have used the time in the best way to help shirls and kittys or not, IYSWIM?

    Anyway definitely no need to say sorry.

    juliette that's superb! Thanks so much :)

    did you work your way down the recipes list, ie so the next person just needs to do everything below onion tart?

    thankyou :)

    would anyone be willing to compile a list of the skills that our team have?

    It would be very useful in me knowing who to pick on, and what kinds of things folk are up for :)
