Thankyou to all for your advice and help so far; this is an ongoing project as I have not yet locked down all my flights.
As for how I was able to ticket with that itinery, maybe I scraped in as I had already paid ½ before the changes came in on 15th August.
There were two main reasons for this: 1) For security reasons my bank has a limit on what I can TT in any one day & 2) I wanted to be sure the funds went to the right people so did not 'put' all my eggs in the one basket.
