Thanks

It's easy when you think about it.

My excuse is I am recovering from a nasty virus which laid me low over xmas and new year

Ibid is short for the Latin ibidem meaning "in the same place". I suppose you could use it to mean "as before", but I would be uncomfortable with that, especially since "quo ante" is often used to mean "as before" particularly in legal documents. But hey! if it fits, who cares about that?

Hope you are fully recovered. x
