    Beanie, I think soo. **shrugs shoulders again** I've not spoken to him today as he's moving one camp to another!

    I've posted the parcel to him and it cost me £17.62!!! :eek: The contents are worth less.

    I did treat myself to some cheese from Marks and Spencers; Cornish Cruncher which I love to make some marcaroni cheese on Thursday for tea.

    That doesn't seem very fair LMC. Is there not an American base over here that it could be sent to?

    Evening

    LMC - its cheaper to send 2 parcels under 1kg than to send 1 parcel over 1kg.

    Well can I please rewind the day and start again? I've got one son with a sprained back and the other with a viral infection of the labarynth :(.

    Dangers, 'fraid not. We looked into getting on of his old Raf mates sending to to the UK base but the problem lies once it reaches it's destination gettng it from one end of the country to the other.

    Claire, thanks for that tip. Oh no you poor thing. What is an infection of the labarynth? Am I being dumb? [insert confused smile!]/

    On a lighter note, I tried to use my nectar card to withdraw money from the atm earlier! :o
