Did we decide if anyone was going to link daily to babysteps?

could you do it cats?

youre often up early and good at links

im back to babysteps in may.ive wobbled more than just a bit

I am desperate to revise and revisit babysteps in May. I agree with zoo and think you are a good candidate for the job Cats. You, zoo or bessie are up the earliest on a regular basis. I am up but don't get to the thread until 10ish sometimes, although I do sometimes get on about 8.30.

I am happy to do it though if people don't mind waiting until morning coffee time.

I could do this thread then if everyone is o.k. with that but don't mind if people want to help sometimes with links for missions etc.

I will help out Cats. I am usually around.

Thanks for doing the links cats. Personally, I found it really useful doing the links - it actually made me read the babystep every day!
