I remember this article - thanks for sharing, it was fun!

Did you do any practice ones before you recorded it? How many mistakes did you make along the way? :-)

I did a couple of practices before recording this. The main thing was figuring out the best way to fit everything on a page so it made sense and I didn't run out of space.

I had one of the completed practice sheets next to me so I could check against it while I was recording and not mess up. I also verified the data against computer output before recording.
