    Oh for lord's sake - and over something that links to a video of Martin Lewis as well:rotfl::rotfl: - but I'm a stickler myself for pedantic and strictly applied rules. I think the clue is that the link had the word "referral" in it, but I didn't notice that when copying and pasting it!

    Zippy had better remove it from his quote too!

    Sorry folks - you're gonna get even more prose explaining what was previously at a link to which I can't link in the OP.

    I totally get it SD, don't worry! I have appointments with DS2 and I walk in totally clued up and sounding sensible. Then we get on to family history and when people hear we are living with suicide Johnny the mood changes dramatically!! :(

    You're a great mum, and so am I :D all you can do is the best in a crap situation. In hope DS does well in his assessments.

    My DS1 won't leave me :o he has an exam on Tuesday and I want him to go and concentrate on it. He says he'll go back tomorrow night. I do feel guilty, I hate him having all this on him. He's been so supportive it's unbelievable! He's a good kid, so is yours ;)

    In our initial assessment I hadn't a clue what to expect, I think my most shocking moment was when she asked about substance abuse, went past that quite quickly when DS uttered his disgust :rotfl: and then she went straight into his sexuality, he told her why would he like either and what relevance would it have. He does get embarrassed when asked about this because there is a girl he likes but she only likes him as a friend, I think he's a bit confused about what he feels for her.
    Anyway went off subject, our first session lasted about 2 hours and ended with DS saying to her 'thank god that's over, now I really need my lunch cause I should have had it an hour ago!' He thought that was all he had to go to until the referral letter came. He's of the opinion that he doesn't need to go but I think he does so he's going even if he just sits there. God help the lady he's got to see:rotfl:

    Your DS is a credit to you and your DH, he worries about you and wants to know that his mum's ok.

    Well it's getting late I'll finish this tomorrow (well today really as it's after 12). Good night x

    Good evening all, lovely day today.

    It may have already been reported but noticed on Stoozing forum that M&S have now launched their no fee account online - £100 M&S Giftcard for using the switching service:

    http://bank.marksandspencer.com/banking/mands-current-account/overview/

    £150 if you go for the Premium account (costs £10 per month, initial minimum 3 months payment required, so an extra £20 "profit" but an outlay of £30 cash - only worth doing if you would normally spend in M and S)

    That's fab Nenen :T:T:T Well done for doing your homework. Must've given you a boost? :D

    It did indeed Fairclaire. I felt quite proud of myself because not only did I save myself £50, by managing the appeal correctly (with help from MSEers) I became one more person to stand up for a principal which I hope (if enough people do this) will result in these companies adopting much fairer practices.

    morning all :j:j

    Wondering if anyone here does the Nielson supermarket scanning thing. My sil was on about it yesterday but looking it up, it seems you have to scan forever to get any decent rewards.
