    Thanks LA ...the worst of it is nobody knows why he's done it...it certainly wasn't debt as he's absolutley minted...nobody saw it coming ..it's such a waste of a young life!!!...I don't know him or his family but my thoughts are with them....my little man is sleeping peacefully ...bless him..Congratulations xxx

    Thanks taxi.

    I feel so sorry for the guy that he felt he couldn't talk to someone or even start to try and "fix" whatever was wrong. His poor family. They must be devastated.

    I don't mean this to sound disrespectful to the deceased - but it just will come across like that I know it will - but it's such a selfish act as you leave people behind who are devastated and their lives will never be the same again, they have to carry around a burden of guilt and sorrow that they didn't help even though they didn't realise something was wrong and so didn't know *how* to help.

    But, of course, I know, we don't know what goes through someone's mind at that moment when they decide to take their own life - it must be excruciating.


    It's just all so tragic.

    Hey taxi......you've been a little quiet the last couple of days, I hope all is OK? Although of course you have had the funeral to have to attend :(.

    Thoughts of you - and big hugs.

    Hi LA...I've not been on as I had my little grandson for the last couple of days...it was his mum and dad going to the funeral not me.JJ went back last night ..we had him at the park all day and today I've had to do a lot of running about for car mats etc for new taxi...picked them up at Morrisons £7.99 real bargain!!!...I always buy the full rubber ones for the taxi as they are more hard wearing and I can dis---infect them..had to get more no smoking signs and spent an hour arguing with tiscali and talk talk..so stressed out....apart from that I'm really ok...
    Had my hair cut and coloured tuesday ...£40...so feel a little more human...lol

    Well, you have had a busy couple of days. did you consult with SS over the car mats?

    Glad to read that you feel human again having had your hair done. Mine has not been cut since last LBM in December! Could really do with having it done again, but always something else comes up!

    I was also going to say "You should have spoken to SouthernScouser before you bought car mats!" :rotfl:

    Well I am sorry you are stressed out taxi.....take a little time as soon as you can, to put your feet up and relax with something little but naughty & nice! And a cuppa (you'll probably get a free one ;)).

    I do hope time with JJ was great.

    Sorry I misread your other post about your daughter going to the funeral not you - I do "listen" really! :rolleyes:
