I'm not addicted, honest - I could give it up any time ...

But I'm not a quitter!  ;D

Sarah (Rah1980), you have a serious case indeed!  ;D  Terminal addiction, I'd say - totally incurable!!  ;D ;D ;D  I can certainly relate to doing other people's trees when you have run into brick walls yourself!
