    My mother was some years older than us when I was born, as are many, many more mothers nowadays.

    I think it's pretty normal for your mother to be older than you :)

    Mine was nearly 36.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    We visited a good school's open day. They had up drawings of students' houses drawn by the students.

    With the addresses.

    Soon worked out the catchment area from that!

    There used to be a lot of secrets in families.... are you sure she's not?

    That used to be as common as anything.

    Well....yes, rather,

    But more of a theoretical kind. My suspicion is that to recover any money we'll need a sheriff or bailiff or whatever.

    And actually, because of the way we filed we stood to do a lot better financially had it gone to court! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm very glad it didn't because its dealt with now, and it was a realistic out for him. Ultimately its a small dent on the credit rating for the company and a victory, Soon I hope to have it confirmed I can share the name and get it going around the place the name of these plonkers.
