    Yes, it's in Europe, just underneath Turkey I think.

    Congrats on being an Aunty by the way, I must have missed your post the other day!

    I have the same relationship with the holiday theft insurance money and the court over the bank charges!! Between them they amount to around £5000 which would sort me out nicely for the time being, but I don't seem to be making any noticeable progress with either.

    Keep going, you will get there x
