Chris, gotta help me on that one...

[Guest guest]

....because I never heard of lemon tea-tree or niaouli linalool type.

I've seen the name Peruvian balsan somewhere, but don't know what it

is used for... And don't have much info on lime and grapefruit too. I

think sweet orange is the only one I really know! LOL

 

Do you mind talking a bit about them, so I get an idea of what we're

buying?

 

 

Thanks!

 

Lena

 

 

P.S. I opened a new account today in another bank, and they said I

have to go there and talk to them to send the money for you. Do you

think I'll need any bank names or account numbers? What do you think

they'll do to get the money across the ocean? I'm so ignorant on that

kind of things yet...

 

Hugs!

[Guest guest]

they'll probably make you fill out an international money order. see

if your post office sells them cheaper - that is how it works in the

US the bank rips you off for money orders and the post office is very

inexpensive.

 

okay here goes cut and paste queen to the rescue *lol*
