...Adoption - The whole process is heartbreaking. I read in the Saturday papers about an adoption that had broken down, and it made me cry. Adoption is - or shouldn't be entered into lightly, and both parties need to be equally for it. I really feel for your brother, it must have been incredibly hard....

Bro and exSIL went through years of red tape.....seeing others who had come into it later adopting before them.......bro actually said to her...we have a healthy happy daughter....if all this is depressing/stressing you out so much (as it was for him also) then maybe we shouldn't go down this route....but she decided to push ahead with it....forgive me for thinking she is a selfish cow...but she knew long before the little girl had her first stay overs that she wasn't up for it...kid was only there a couple of months 'permanently' before adoption was supposed to take place and ex-sil decided she wanted out of everything......and she's proven herself to be even more selfish since......It just really angered me that she put that little girl (and my brother and their daughter) through all that only for it all to go so wrong...

Could someone explain what Quidco is please? It looks a bit shadey.

It's a cashback site. I think the idea being the companies pay quidco commission for introducing you to their product. Quidco make their money by taking the first fiver you make from you as a fee then everything else you earn is passed on to you.

I've explained it to a couple of people (like my brother, and he says its sounds shady too!) however, I've never had any major problems with it, and so far have had back £54.82 (less a fiver to quidco) It is what you make it really, you can spend money on sites and get cashback. You can sign up for things you would get anyway (like if you're going to switch credit card or insurance to get cheaper go through the link on quidco to get extra cashback) or take a chance and lay out on betting sites or dvd rentals, then remember to cancel them in time to get the cashback but not have the next month;s payment taken!

On second thought, you could probably put quidco into the forum search box to read lots of opinions on it, a lot of people round the forum have signed up.
