sorry i have not had chance to say thanks for all the nice replies sooner, aahhh, the days of sitting on ex-pats for an hour, now unfortunately far behind me.
was chatting the other night to friends about this, we were all ready to go home when the new local curry house screwed up our order and then basically told us to do one, canadian customer service for you again, just when we thought salvation had arrived in the shape of a fresh balti as well.
thanks again, i'm sure i am one of many with problems and still rolling with them, and i have not even mentioned the mother in law, apparently burma wants her as the new chief of the secret police.

Hi Rae, Claire and lovely young lady you have as a daughter.

Your post was interesting to say the least, and it will be good to read your next one!!.

Hope your container has been located now and it on its way to you, let uk know when it turns up. We are heading to Calgary Police ( well, we hope so ) and so might bump into you some time in the future if the forces meet.

Your pictures are fantastic, you all look happy and relaxed and the countryside,mountains are amazing.

Thanks for the post, good luck with the container and hope to see more of your pictures one day - they are great
