I have nearly won. The flash work is nearly done - just need to remove a couple of development marks and add the help system, and I'll be finished. I need to wait for the help text before I can start adding that though, so I'll have some time to catch up on the other work that has been waiting for my attention.
The current plan looks like the rest of this week will be spent creating a new website for a client, and at the weekend I will try to come up with a name for my CMS ...
Having finished the bulk of the Flash work, I've been working on a website for a client. I'm building it on my old CMS, which is a bit of a pain - I don't remember half of what the code does, and my coding style/ability has developed quite a bit since I last worked on the scripts 5 years ago, so I'm constantly fighting the urge to rewrite large chunks of code.

It was my Gran's 100th birthday today! She had her letter from the Queen, and the home put on a very nice party for her.
