ffp I hope things have settled down this morning. You must have been very frightened. I would get him to see a doctor, if he is willing. My DH did similar thing once and I got him to see the GP next morning. He was extremely embarressed the next day. He was put on Anti Dep and has been fine since. Still suffers from dep. but has never (in 15 years) done anything like that again. Huge hugs for you. I know how frightening it can be.

Just thought that I had an escape set up for me and the kids and also hid building society books in DDs room. Never needed to use my plan, but set it up just in case it happened again.

Sorry I know thats not much help but sooooooo funny (remind me of this moment in about 11 years when my DS is doing the same)

FFP - sorry I havent been able to add anything to your situation. The only thing I can say is well done for being so strong! I would imagine mosts banks will let you apply online???

Erm... not being funny, but don't the council employ people to do this for them? Surely they should have access to the information as to who owns what?!

That's what you would have thought, yes. But, during the conversation, it turned out he had been lied to by one of those very people employed by the Council who should know!

You would be more than welcome if you want to come down here and help the young man in my garden, just been home to check on him, and he really has worked hard. Just been chatted up by him as well , Valli there is 3 tonne of top soil to shift now, so come prepared to work!

He reckons I am at least 20 younger than I actually am! :D mind you he had just hit his hand with a hammer, so it must have blurred his vision!.

Hugs FFP - you know we're all here for you if you need us - pm me if you want to chat.

I've done some ironing, taken the kids to the playscheme for a couple of hours while I went to Matalan and Mr As, picked them back up, had dinner, hung washing on line and reloaded WM.

Going to think about doing something else now so HHC anyone starting around now?
