    Perfect thank you :T. Will change round myself so it does the opposite for savings :D.

    Actually it's not perfect. Have you any idea how often interest takes the balance back into a higher thousand category :mad:. Not impressed!

    I could do one that only changes colour when it gets into a lower thousand bracket than it's ever been before. Would that help?

    Gally - just checking you've seen my suggestion since we cross-posted and I don't always remember to scroll up when I post to see if there's anything there that I might have missed.

    Hope your headache has vanished by now.

    GG, where did you book for your free contact lens assessment? My DS1 has been wearing contact lenses for the past 2 years, but when he went for a free eye test at MrT a few weeks back, he was told that he needs to pay for the contact lens assessment and fitting :o So he opted for cheaper glasses as a temporary measure :eek:

    Have you never worn contact lenses GG? If so you'll be amazed at all the things you've missed seeing when you first wear them - complete field of vision is fab! They do take a bit of getting used to but you'll be fine.
