    ..Depends whether you're the kind of person who hands over a note or carries round and counts out correct change..
    (If you are the former; about six months? If the latter; not this side of doomsday! :rotfl: ).

    Hey NewLeaf, how are you doing? Pain any better? Glad you have someone to help you. Dogs are always good for the soul too. x

    I will probably only retire way after 66 at the rate I am going!
