Here's an email I got from them Thank you for your email. I can confirm the due despatch date for your order was 27th December 2006. We are experiencing an upsurge in applications, particularly those made online, partly as a result of current television programmes. At the moment we are dealing with around 45,000 applications per week, which is more than ever before. We are doing our utmost to maintain output including working evenings and weekends to return to our target turnaround times. Our online service does not allow for the recording of despatch dates, although this is something which may be considered for the future. All despatch is done manually. I am unable to say when your order was despatched but feel sure that you will receive it very shortly. Yours sincerely Penny PS Yes they did say December!! Mine was ordered 15th Feb - due 23rd Feb - arrived 3rd March!!

David, I did call them last Thursday and they assured me they would be going out that day, thought I might have got them this morning but alas nothing but bills! Will wait as patiently as I can, but I think I may need a stiff drink to clam me down (is it too early?) Vanessa x
