OK, I didn't have them on the list, but I have also now checked bank account and seen that my expected refund hasn't been arrived. So, have sent an email off to them about that (they don't have a phone number).

Also realised that 2 of my colleagues haven't given me their share of the cost of presents for another team member. So, much as I hate doing stuff like this, I have sent them a kind reminder.

If I get all that back, it'll be another 50 euro's, or thereabouts, in my bank account
