    I hope you encouraged her to make sure her son is paying his way; from a comment in your post it didn't sound as if that was the case.


    She did confirm that her son pays board and she did tell me the amount he pays but I obviously don't know how much he earns (or what he does for a living to get an idea of what he earns), so don't know whether the amount he pays is classed as paying his way.

    When I see her I will try and encourage her to ensure he does though.

    Cheers
