    Ladygrim - "Oh well, soon be 1830!"?? You took a fortnight off and slept in a time machine?! How great would that be! Can you nip back to 1982 and tell me to stick with the studies rather than take that job, please? LOL

    Love this challenge, the paper animals are fab. I always need any change I have and anything else goes back in the bank. Good luck to you all though
