Have sent Rita the following by PM

Rita - please see the reply on General Chat.

As you are a new member, you may not realise that its best to only have one thread per family/request. That's because helpers tend to look at all the boards but may come across one thread while a different helper is trying to assist on another. That ends up as a duplication of effort.

Its also best not to tag a request onto a completely unrelated one started by someone else
Don't worry, you'll soon get the hang of it
