    well thats 1 AFD for me!!!

    sim. am so sorry to hear you news.

    same sort of thing happened to me a couple of years ago. A friend who was suffering from depression, rang me and asked if me and my OH fancied meeting up with him for dinner the next day. said i couldnt as i was skint, but he sounded so much better than he had done.
    he died the next weekend. his brother found him in his room. class a drug overdose (whether it was on purpose or not we dont know). i was devastated. i still am.....but it gets easier hun. xxxx

    you have my sympathies xxxx take care xxxx
