    Gonna up my good karma...going round to see a mate who's friend has died. They think it was a purposeful OD, but couldn't record a full verdict. He feels crappy as he thinks he's to blame and is in a bit of a state

    Lou, he keeps going through the what if's and blaming himself, and nothing I say can bring him out of it...he won't talk to me about it but I figured it out from what he has said.

    More hugs Claire.

    I've been to two different Halfords stores and a motor factors to get a grease gun and have now greased about half the necessary nipples under the truck! Go me :)

    Katsu, there's a greased nipples factory at the bottom of my road, I went on a tour of it once it was really interesting.

    I thought that too Lou, I don't think such a negative character is good for children.

    I'm shattered but going out tonight, being a good friend and I'm sure I'll get into it once I get there...
