Thanks - In future I will import onto my desktop and copy them to a folder and then import the originals into Lightroom. Only concern is that because my photos are shot in raw they will take so much extra space on the computer
regards

Captures take up space. I would look into getting external HDs that are dedicated to your photos.
At least one should be a backup of processed pics and another should contain duplicates of your untouched raw files.
You should keyword your files at import. This makes it easier to find files.
If you remember the lens used, you can search for all pics shot with a specific lens.
I would get the LR video from LL. It will help you understand LR better.
