Hello

Thanks for your reply. I have not received any emails from Rhoda or Beth 
in relation to my original post about the extra table. Was there perhaps 
a problem with the mailing list recently? I didn't receive any messages 
for a couple of days but I assumed it was Easter break. I seem to be 
getting them now again as I have received your's and will's emails today.

  I Have searched the archives and can see the posts there though.

cheers
