    This job nearly turned into a freebie.
    When the client & his wife came to pick it up, they also brought a bottle of wine. The wife asked whether she should give the money to me or to SWMBO. I told her to give it to SWMBO (saves double handling) while her hubby & I loaded the chest into their van.
    After they'd gone, I asked SWMBO if she had 'my' money. 'No', she says, 'they didn't give it to me. No worries, I'll be seeing her tomorrow - she'll be embarrassed that she's forgotten.'
    This morning, I went to put the bottle of wine away, crumpled up the bag & was about to throw it in the bin, when I realised it had something in it. 'Oh', thinks I, 'they've put a card in as well.'

    Guess where the money was.

    Great looking result at the end of it there Alex. A good save from the bin too.
    I make things, I just take a long time.
