  3. Did you try on the land line as my mobile has packed in and I'm on the hunt for a new one (or waiting for the kids to renew theirs)as I haven't picked up any voice mail recently. From Monday 20th I'm on hols for a fortnight but going to Scotland on 25th for a week, don't know if your working all week or not.
