    Morning all

    DDs birthday today - and apparently the typo is MY fault :mad: so not happy - 'we do ask you to check the wording' - no one said to check the spelling...and I know spelling mistakes within a word are very hard to spot sometimes as the brain automatically makes sense of what it sees...will remember that point to make to manager when he phones or when I phone back...I wrote it down she copied it...

    off to do my bathroom now.

    Ooh SC on for the first time ever too.
