OK, so for those of you waiting to see what changes I have made to my Second Rainbow, go and have a look at Post No. 477, which I have now updated - whew, talk about hectic :)
Mod
Marcia, why don't you shift it across here, so people don't have to hunt for it....go to post 477, go to edit, copy the complete post, then cancel edit, come to this last page, paste, and there you'll have it:):)
(great list by the way)
