    That will do, PaP - although I looked at the reviews and it seems that the 'Twinlock' Complete Accounting Book - Viking ref. Q21-11293 - is more 'user friendly', plus you can buy refills - costs about the same price.

  • thanks rog i shall go and order one... do i have to add my bug to it or not as it will be personal and business :rolleyes:

    right a little upset today, last night i managed to brake my trimmer. It works but of fear of cutting my fingers off i need a new one. This one i brought at work eons ago for only £8 so not too bad. Anyways i found a really nice trimmer in hobby craft and i thought yeah thats ok. Then mother saw a A3 gillouteine (sp?) half price... so thinking about it i thought ummm that might be better. I got it home and its 1 inch too big for my surface :o so that now has to go back. Its too bulky anyways... nevermind :rolleyes: it was only using vouchers so its not too bad :rotfl:
