My ex-employer doesn't have a 'client money' policy in place, that is to say that it mixes up their money with their clients' money. That means that if they go bust their clients could lose all their money.

Should I go to the regulator about this? I think I should.

Deffo Generali. I got caught up with the Worldspreads fiasco. Luckily I only had a few hundred quid in my account, and I've just had a cheque from the FSCS to cover it, so all ended well.

DD moves into halls today. The house will seem emptier I'm sure.:(

DS2 has been gone a week, DS1 is home. The house seems much quieter and more "adult".

Dunno if I'd want to .... sounds like "something slimy and nasty and French". Now I'm going to have to google it to find out what it is.

I googled... https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22moules+mariniere%22&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&biw=1101&bih=639&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=ge5dUKHVL4qp0QWRyoCQDQ

Nasty slimy things .....
Never had them. Never seen anybody eat them (except on the telly) either.... no desire to try even a tiny bit.

I do remember my dad went and gathered some on a beach about 35 years ago, then cooked/ate them with his friend.... but I wasn't there as I didn't want to eat/see that, so I was in the water no doubt.
