Well it's all sorted now!!
Just received email form Barb and it's allright. Basicially, what happened was that the book was ordered in my wife's name, and my emails never reached Barb. And as she just assured me, the book was posted next day.
So... First of all I want to apologise Barb for coming up with conclusions too early drawn.. It's all a misunderstanding... Sorry...
The only problem is that I have two lovely tartans waiting here to become kilts

Thank you all for words of encouragement and please forget the whole thing...
