Blimey Lenny,
Close call...makes your blood boil doesn't it? Strangely enough, speaking of scams, I won a lottery that I never entered the other day! all I had to do is give them my bank details and they'd send me the money! Luckily for them I had actaully heard of this scam (I saw that because you can't get blood from a stone!)
Hope all gets sorted with your damaged car and I hope you're getting SOME sleep with little Jack. Is this your first?

Phew! Gawd, there's a lot of conniving b'stards out there ain't there? Well done to this site and everybody who gave helpful advice!'The only thing that helps me keep my slender grip on reality is the friendship I have with my collection of singing potatoes'
