So, finally confirmed that the finance is in place this morning, smart all ready to be traded in, and time set for collection is 5.30pm tomorrow evening.

However, for work, I've got to go to County Durham, Newcastle and Alnwick. So, to get back to Edinburgh on time, I have to be in County durham for about 9 in the morning :argh:

Yeah stuck to around 70ish most of the way. Thankfully, all the calls were fairly straight forward, One site I was there for 20 mins, another was a collection of a machine we had bought, and the other was about 45 mins :)
