yeah, I'm a bit confused and wondering if there's more at play than I know about, I certainly haven't said anything I wasn't prepared to say to them, so <shrug> pass. I guess if you know our situation IRL then it'd be easy to connect it to this here, but, as I said, I don't think I've said anything I wasn't preparing to discuss with them, so it all seems a little OTT to me. Still, it's saved us spending the next little while worrying and wondering and trying to work out further options, and DS is not upset by it, so at the end of the day, while I'm somewhat surprised and disappointed at how they've dealt with it, it's best that we move on.
