Happy Friday!!!

There are now:
57 Days Until "Fun on a Boat!!!!"
![]()
Some things about 57: (Thanks to Wikipedia)
The atomic number of Lanthanum, the first of the Lanthanides. (That one more recognisible, Becx?)
It is a Leyland number since 2^5 + 5^2 = 57. (This is my favorite!)
Agent 57 is the name of the master of disguise in the television series Dangermouse.
The code for international direct dial phone calls to Colombia.
# Heinz 57 is a brand of sauce, and the number of varieties of foods claimed to be produced by the H.J. Heinz Company.



Ummm, no we don't do Lanthanum. We do Tellurium which is number 52 (atomically), we use Antimony (Sb) in some products, we do Tin, Indium, Cadmium is sometimes used used in alloys (it's not very nice though), we do an alloy with Silver in too but not often. Then you have the Paladium group which one customer (for some reason) wants analysed for?! We never find anything! I could go on.....

Also I used to LOVE Dangermouse




TGIF folks!
Wow, totally sucksHopefully the credit card co will go to bat for you and you can lodge a complaint with a better business bureau-type org.
Heading to the pumpkin fest this weekend to see how much damage high school students can have with a trebuchet they've designed and pumpkinsOf course I will be tasting all things pumpkin while there
Have a fab weekend all!

Yup! We have asked for the forms from the credit card company. A government group called Consumer Direct have got back to us, they advised to try the credit card company and also contact the original garage that didn't do the work! They have contacted trading standards on our behalf so hopefully they may suggest something or at least back us up. We got the car back last night and the part/serial number on the catalytic converter doesn't match the part/serial number the garage put on the paper work. I think it may not have been as deliberate as it first seemed but still not acceptable.
The trebuchet sounds like a lot of fun! Make sure you stand behind it
