Again Ronni, thank you. Yes your steps were easy to follow and I have now added the extra photos in to my calender.
If I spend another hour or three I will be able to fill in the diary pages and maybe a photo in the box for the appropriate birthdays. I could even insert the Footy fixtures into their correct dates. Sorry Ronni, we are Eagles supporters! Enjoy the rest of your day - you can take off now and drink red wine to celebrate the gorgeous weather.
