I could say the bill might be a step too far but that would be toooo bad a joke eh?

Cheers Bob. I emailed my invoice this morning to the lady of the house (tis who I was dealing with and she's a professor with an OBE
quite humbling) and she writes that when she returned home last night after being away for a couple of days, she was absolutely delighted with the end result and will pay me tonight via BACS.
I shall be on the beers tonight
Yes, the bill was a bit of a 'riser' from the original quote but I thought if I 'tread' carefully (metaphorically writing), my clients won't 'string' me along with a late payment (which would 'floor' me), but instead, pay me rather quickly. So, receiving an email from the professor is a result for me which means I can now take Mrs P out tomorrow which is a good 'step' forward to gaining more brownie points.
In my previous life, I was a tree.
