Went to pick a mate up last night and while going about 50 round some bends (wet) the car just didn't feel right, hard to explain but will try.
I was turning the wheel but it just wasn't turning how I would expect it to, then when I corrected my position it felt wavy and I ende up on the other side of the road!
Now I know what skidding/ sliding feels like but definitely wasn't that, checked all my wheels bolts were tight and pressure in tyres,
What could it be??

Are you on the original shocks dec? Had this with the cabby, was like driving on ice sometimes, other times you'd be doing 50 in a straight line and it'd start swaying like a boat. Sorted it with new shocks.

id go with scottbon this. sounds exactly what my estate is like. and its because the beam mount aelre totaly shagged on it. its just constanly steering from the rear in what ever direction it feels like.

I think mine is doing this to, i have had a knock from the rear for a little while and also under heavy braking it feels like the rear is not right.
I have just got some solid mounts ready to go on.
