    Congratulations on your win and its great that you are treating your mum.

    I am so sorry to hear about your mums cancer ....so sad news but keep comping and hopefully it will get you through I know I often sit here comping on an evening when I am having a bad time and it does help to lift your spirits when you get a win however small.
