I've done it, whereas it'll take about a week for the PCB to be sent back

Good you can do all my PCB's for me. At one time you could do a decent
layout at home, but now days with surface mount crap and tiny tiny
traces I don't it is worth the risk.
When you're prototyping, modifying, trying things
as you go, it rapidly
becomes impossible if you have to wait a week for every new version of
the PCB!
That is why I use reams and reams of quad paper for my schematics.
For prototyping ideas more quad paper. :)
