Merci bien, Rainbowheart - I will be largely off-line for Screen Free Week beginning on Monday. ;) So if I'm slow to respond, apologies in advance!
Oh, no trouble if you do! :D I just didn't want you to think that I was unappreciative or something!I'll probably cave by Wednesday and be on all evening, but we'll give it a go! ;)
