[DIANE W]

Thanks for the advice everyone and it is awful to read other similar tales.

I have rang her today and they are fine, she said again to me that in a way it has done her a favour - because now she will be extra careful (hope this determination lasts though), so we will just have to see, hopefully he saw enough that they are not wealthy and although they live comfortably, they dont have expensive material things.

I too keep thinking how different it could have been, thankfully they were ok, it is me that is more worked up about it all.
