It would mean I could keep online until the day we actually leave!!!

All the best to you[/QUOTE]
Birthday cards and Chrimbo cards with mum on too - my mum goes spare if I dare to buy her mother or - god forbid mom! She lives here now too so nows my plight but will accept no excuses.
All the best to you
