PN, I would have put a few k in pot but you would only accuse me of having an ulterior motive so I will have to pass to protect your reputation.

You go right ahead.... I wouldn't know who put what in the pot - that's how they work

Now I have to defend my naivity when he was the !!!!! not me!

It was a group online chat amongst the school footie team and he was the teacher with responsibility for putting together the team and taking them training etc No private emails just group chat through MSN messenger or something similar. I guess the evil plan was to progress conversations to get to know people individually.

I see what you mean - much more difficult to spot when something was going in the wrong direction in that kind of group context. These people are very very clever at giving the appearance of being harmless.

So glad the bloke was caught before your DS could be affected.

Wouldn't have been if DS2 hadn't been on the ball. He thought he was a little odd and refused to engage, some others his year group ended up giving evidence in court.

Although not on Skye, but not far away,the areas around Shiedaig and Applecross would make a nice day drive. You could also visit Plockton, which has been used as the background for many Films and TV programs.

I'm off to Scotland in two weeks time, although I'll be much further south in the 'Borders' I'm staying in Wigtown, Scotland's version of Hay-on-Wye.

We're staying in Plockton for five nights!

I can't tell you what would be acceptable there. That's a very personal family issue to decide. My one tip would be to ask them what they think they can do to rebuild trust. Give them some ownership of reparation.

Spot on. I'll do that. Thanks lj. <big thumbs up and cheesy grin smilie>

Well we've found somewhere new to live. Moving up the road to Mortlake. I am very excited as we will no longer be on the opposite side of the level crossing to the entrance to the train station. It will be a life changing experience. £200/less a month as well. Now we need to start looking for somewhere to buy again!

We like Plockton.

Highlights that spring to mind - seafood, a funeral procession where the men carried the casket through the 'street' with a trail of mourners following looking like a film scene but it was real, a boat trip.. where the skipper pointed out a former girls boarding school and acquainted us with 'what he used to get up to'.

It wasn't supposed to be a loan ......

Since I posted that I've been looking at stuff £160-170.... still no joy.

Then I extended the search to an hour's drive.... still no joy.

I know:)
Hardly anything is coming on the market around here. I could do with a flurry of people desperate to offload their houses. There has been literally nothing in the two areas I prefer and in my price range which has come onto the market in the last 3 weeks. Before Easter there were at least a couple per week.
