Thanks for your reply Mike, the stand alone page works great :o))

I'm assuming from your comment above that shipping_addresses_added.html and 
shipping_addresses_removed.html are now redundant and can be safely removed?

I would like to integrate the delete/list function into 
shipping_addresses.html so that addresses are handled all from one page as 
it seems logical to allow a delete function on the same page that lists and 
adds the addresses.

I tried putting the code you provided into shipping_addresses.html and 
whilst it still lists and adds addresses the delete part now doesn't work. 
This is what I currently have in shipping_addresses.html, but have no idea 
why it doesn't work.

I'm pretty sure this just needs a little tweaking?

Many thanks in advance.
