Thanks everyone for your advice and reassurance. I wont be feeding it
again
in a hurry!
I have been told that moss in lawn is caused by poor drainage, is this
true
and how do you go about fixing this?

Well actually feeding is something that will help to some extent with
moss - it puts the grass in a better state to compete with the moss and
some feed ingredients scorch the moss anyway. Along with this improve the
soil by aeration and adding gritty top dressings. You've probably noticed
with your problems that the moss has taken more damage than the grass. You
probably never will have very good grass in the shaded bit.
