As promised, finally, my website is now up and running http://www.janettejones.co.uk/ - I'd like to think it comes across as professional, but that I've injected a little bit of my personality in there somewhere, as well! My hubbie has spent many painstaking hours, building this for me, of which, I am very grateful. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
Follow my journey to see if I can complete a set of 40 tasks before my 40th birthday.

About Me
- Janette
- A couple of years ago, I decided that my life needed a challenge and I would put together a list of everything I wanted to do before I was 40. I e-mailed various media sources and BBC Radio Nottingham have kindly adopted me (sort of!). I will be doing regular updates on the Breakfast/Morning shows

Very impressive. Good luck!

It does indeed look good, and it was enjoyable to click through the various sections. It'll be good to see how things go, and I second the good luck wishes!
Hope you don't mind pedantry at a time like this - because like I say the site itself is great - but I'd point out that where you mention your fear of Daleks, you've spelt it wrong (it's Daleks, not Darleks).
I've just had a look at your website and it's great. Very professional and it loads really fast.
Loved the pics from Ben Nevis.
Well, you sneaked this blog post in quickly... good to see good comments coming back, I think there are some minor things that need tidying up. I'll do a bit more work later this week.
Further feedback...
The main "Enter Site" page is lovely - simple, bold, but elegant and well designed.
I think all the photographs work well too. Which reminds me, I keep meaning to ask - on the main photo of you (ie the one on your blog page), is that Chatsworth House in the background?
Love it! Very professional and easy to use. Really love the Jimmy Choos!
Wow - what a response!
Caroline - thank you for your good wishes
Trousers - Thanks for the spell check - I tend to write these things late at night, when the brain isn't working as well as it should - PS thank you for your lovely comments and yes it is Chatsworth, one of my favourite places!
Pinkgecko - thank you and can I now state that I have retired from such silly things as mountain climbing!!
Rick - hope you are happy with all these lovely comments on your wonderful work!
Helen - I heart my Jimmy Choos too, even though my boss decided to chuck a pint of beer over them, then thankfully recovered!
YEAHHHHHHHH! I'm very proud of you! Congratulations! Another one down!
Thanks Tami
Your website looks amazing. Koodos to your hubby and to you for finishing your book!
Thanks Heather - have to decide what to do next now on my list - as it's been all about the book just recently!
