    Thanks LT.

    OH kept asking this morning if I was ok, kept saying I was and he kept asking then I burst into tears (why do people push it when you clearly want to stay composed as you're going to work?).

    So sorry to hear your news. However I also had a smile at the cousin coming round and telling your step son what a cushy life he has.

    Hopefully it will give him enough insight to start being a human.

    Online as need to look up symbol that has appeared on my dash in my car (engine management system unfortunately). Had taken my Gran out for the day take her mind off things (mine as well), so it looks like my car is off the road until I can figure out what's wrong with it and how much it'll cost. Funeral is wednesday. Have let my work know. I'm tired all the time and feel sick. OH been great, stepson keeps asking if I'm ok. Popped out for bread yesterday, lady at checkout said "and how are you today", I burst into tears.

    Thanks for your messages Z, Chev.

    The question you need to ask: Is it still working?

    If it is, and it's not in "limp home" mode, then just use it. My engine management light comes on and off every few months, just as it pleases.

    If it's serious, then you won't be able to do more than about 2,000 revs. You'll find that out soon enough...
