That will be fantastic - thank you sooo much :green:

I plan to do a least an hour a day on this - probably in the evening!

It was quite a shock to see how much stuff was out there - the Creative list isn't exhausted yet - still more to come and I had thought that would be the easiest to do as I am most familiar with that product range :lol:

Watch this space and thank you for those that have offered help - it is much appreciated :hug:

Right way off topic now :lol: I'm off swimming with the boys! part timer that I am :lol:

Just to let you all know, each brand will be in it's own thread, the site only allows a set amount of images to be added per (user) post.

I actually think this will work better as it won't be as confusing and you can check out each brand in it's own right!

At the bottom of the posts, I will add a link to other articles :green:

If anyone believes anything needs adding or changing then PM me :hug:

There will be some errors but I will amend asap - but please free welcome to point them out ! (I may have missed them) but please take into consideration I am working on several articles at once and I am easily confused :lol::lol:

It has been fantastic those geeks that have already helped or offered help it is much appreciated :hug:
