    just curious

    Yes but I haven't painted for a few years because of lack of space. I still draw and love to go out into the garden and lie in the grass while I draw. Some of my best work gets done in the month of August. I bought a graphics tablet for my computer over a year ago so I could start using Painter...

    High Step - in England???

    Hehe it's not sad! It's called being a big kid and still getting that same pure joy out of life (and stuff :D ) as a grownup that you had as a child. Nothing wrong with that and you're certainly in good company :) I agree that it's not absolutely necessary to have one and that there are plenty...

    High Step - in England???

    Duty isn't always charged. It depends on the carrier and whether your parcel attracts the attentions of customs. Some items, like books, are tax free but most are taxable and quite often the charges are quite low... until you apply the handling fee :( It used to be that the postman or courier...

    High Step - in England???

    £10.95 just for handling!! *faint* Now that I've thought about it a bit more, I think you're both right :) It's not that high a shipping charge especially when you consider the size/weight. ATB, - Lisa :)

    High Step - in England???

    That's good news about CKSales! Their newsletter said they wouldn't ship it overseas so it's nice to know that like SNM, they're willing to ship the High Step to anyone who wants it. $75 is rather a lot even when you convert it from Canadian $ to Sterling though. The 4-6 months alternative is a...

    High Step - in England???

    Just a P.S. to say that I haven't heard anything from Fitness Professionals yet. I'm always a little bit wary of leaving messages on someone's voice mail because it's easy to let a query go when you're not sure what the person is talking about. The person I spoke to at F.P. (not the person I...

    High Step - in England???

    RE: High Step - in England - there is hope! Ooooooooh! Proactive Health's Sales Director just wrote to me to say that he'll be bringing it to the attention of their man in charge of new products when he gets back on Monday! :) :) A petition isn't a bad idea :) Just a thought, is it cheaper...

    High Step - in England???

    Well... I caved in and rang Proactive Health and spoke to the person who e-mailed me this afternoon. They no longer sell the risers separately (you just cannot get them over here anymore and they bought up all of the remaining surplus stock and sold out just a couple of months ago) the woman I...

    High Step - in England???

    Hi Anna, I've been in touch with Customs and Excise who gave me a commodity code: 9506919000 for the high step. It comes under sports equipment (I spoke to someone who knew what I was talking about YAY!) The charges will be as follows: Duty: 2.7% of the cost of the high step + postage and...

    Need to vent- ignorant people

    {{{{{HUGS}}}}} That's incredibly rude of them and I am shocked. No one's ever been rude to me but I did experience some incredulous looks while at my last job. Our company began offering discount memberships at a nearby gym and almost everyone in my team - and the department would go there...

    High Step - in England???

    Hiya Wayne, SNM posted over on Ask Cathe to say that if we want a quote, we can e-mail them: http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=2&topic_id=27557&mesg_id=27593&page= I sent a mail yesterday asking for a quote for one riser and one mini topper.

    So, what are you planning on doing today?

    Sorting out my wardrobe (argh) and my paperwork :( While listening to the audio book of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (it's a bank holiday in England and the film has been on over the weekend so I thought it was time to give the audio version that I bought a while ago, a try and it's...
