Hi Folks

I was having a wander around the internet tonight and discover what might be my new favourite website to get lost in: http://www.whosampled.com. If you fancy a break from your coursework (only a small one mind!) then have a look around - you never know what you might discover!

Keep up the hard work - your Planning is looking great so far!
