    I was told years ago - to stop my shopping addiction - don't go to unnecessary shops, don't look at catalogues, don't watch TV adverts and don't look at fancy magazines... Stop temptation at its source! It was good advice except that all the supermarkets branched out in what they sold so it stopped being as limiting as it once was :rotfl:

    Ring him and just ask him if he would mind sorting it straightaway - you assume he just forgot but the money isn't there....
