Just been trawling the web for contact details for DHL (how hard can it be to actually contact a person at such a large company!!!) - as I need to request documentation from them to find out if any actual import duty or tax was paid on my vista (I suspect not as it' was minutes clearing customs!), and then when I have the actual documentation - I can then go back to amazon.com and request my import duty fees deposit back.... otherwise I guess dhl will just keep it - it's up to me to chase this up apparently (reading the smallprint at www.amazon.com). It would be nice to get £102 back if possible (supposing no import duty/tax was paid). [hbiscuit]
On a happier note - my Oi Oi giraffe hobo sack arrived - and looks fabulous in the Vista shopping basket! (takes up the smaller section of space at the rear of the basket - infront of the "floating axel bar") - it stands really nicely in this space and is easily accessible without needing to hang anything from the handlebar - and has just enough giraffe print showing to look suitably chic!
I now have everything I could need with me - nappies/wipes/first aid kit/enough snacks to survive in event of an unexpected famine/drinks/sun cream/spare clothes/sun hat/blanket/large muslin - who knows what this will be handy for - arm sling or impromptu burkah!/purse/mobile/old mobile for ds to phone "Lightning McQueen" on/torch - you never know - have used to shop for wool in event of unexpected power cut in craft shop before!!!/ calpol/ crab-line and tin of sardines/ play parachute......etc etc!!! [hgrin]
Now if only my Goodbyn lunch boxes would arrive - sadly funkymoose have sent with Royal snail Mail.......[hhmm]
