Brilliant news Fortune - I'm so glad you've progressed things so well. It's down to your hard work and tenacity. I hate to think of you making yourself ill though, just because of other's people's oversights. Well done for averting delay and disruption in the chain - by being on the ball and seeing the whole picture :T
