Listed a car recently on Auto Trader - it's probably slightly higher than an average price as I'm not in a rush and expecting to get haggled down.

​

Almost immediately got an email through expressing interest, then within a few messages they suggested switching to WhatsApp. They seemed very keen and wanted to come see the car asap.

​

After messing me around on timings, they then asked me to pay for a report on a website they suggested, offering to cover the cost. I googled the website, and several things came up suggesting it was a scam. They immediately suggested another - this one isn't flagged as a scam but it's only a week old.

​

There's a gap in the service history, so they claimed the report would show that, even though the website itself didn't list that as included in the report. I suggested they pay for the report themselves, or ideally use the AA or Auto Trader's own report service.

​

They told me the owner has to pay for "privacy reasons". sent a screenshot from the website's chat function supposedly telling them that the owner has to request it. The "chat" made exactly the same grammatical mistake in their reply as my "buyer" did asking the question.

​

Something about it just felt very off so I've blocked them. Anyone else experience similar?

My 10-month-old had his first day at the childminder yesterday - he settled in so well and still seemed very happy when I picked him up. He really seems to love her and she was great at sending lots of photos during the day and telling us what he ate and exactly how much milk he drank.

She gave him macaroni cheese, banana, orange, avocado, a petit filous and a slice of brioche. At home his diet has lots of different veg in it and especially lots of green, but it's only max 9 hours a week he's with her so I'm not too worried about that.

What bothers me a bit is the sugar in the petit filous and the brioche - we've never even let him taste anything with added sugar in it before and he only decided he liked fruit 3 weeks ago! I checked NHS guidelines and even a 1-year-old should only be having a max of 10g sugar per day - a petit filous is over half of that and he's not one yet.

He's only with her for one day a week until September, when he's going to move to a proper nursery. Am I being overly concerned about this? I don't want to make her life more difficult by making dietary demands but I don't want him to get into the habit of having sugar this young... Do you think it's ok for me to ask her not to give him anything with sugar in it?
