Oh my word that is FANTASTIC!!! Well done jo_b, how inspirational

I might have to start a total record thingy, great thing to do

Though coz I'm a bit fanatical I might keep a record of my time spent doing certain things to ensure I'm getting a good hourly rate for all these various bits and pieces, if that makes sense?

Hey EagerLearner, that is such a great total, well done!

Can I please be cheeky and ask for a copy of your spreadsheet? I have various old ones at the moment for surveys etc. but would like to bring them to one central place.
