Glad you're enjoying the series!
I think I may have to do that from now on, put it on word and paste it over. The spell check is better that way too!!! *grins*

As to the speech tag thing, can I just say "...." *blank look* lol. I paid very little attention in English in school, mainly because the teacher was a bit of a muppet! I couldn't even tell you the difference between nouns and verbs, let alone anything more complicated. *blushes and hangs head* So if you see any more mistakes like that, feel free to point 'em out!
