They did, but I mixed up an LCM pill and cured the down hole losses.

We have a new girl in facilities who now thinks she's god and has a record of all our holidays. I asked her to add mine up. I also asked about the days I carried over from last year. She had no record of them and she thought I only had 5 left. She said she would have to check with HR about the extra days. I thought moo! I trawl through my email and find the orginal request with the approval from my old boss and HR saying I had carried over 7 days. Instead of the 5 days holiday left I actually have 7. Hoo-bloody-rah! Have asked for the week off 1st week of October _________________Still the official cheeky one

Do you have any problems with import duty or VAT with stuff from the US? _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Last time I had a parcel come through customs I got hammered by the Royal Mail handling fee. Totally out of proportion to the tax due. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

The last things I bought in from the US were via FedEx. Parts cost was about £81, but after shipping and handling via FedEx, I'm looking at a £200 bill.

I do as much as possible now through Bundlebox. It means using FedEx but the handling fees are fine. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
