    Thanks tattycath, he will be fine it's just getting to the fine bit. Depression can be so hard on the people that have it and their loved ones as well, I think I maybe thought he was doing better than he was though, or maybe this is just a blip and can be used as a good reminder that we both need to be aware of his mental health more

    Hi Elantan

    I hope you don't mind, but I've subscribed to your thread as I remember you from my first incarnation as a member on the forum. I had to change my username for reasons I don't want to divulge but I'm glad to have rediscovered a familiar "face".

    Glad to see you're still going strong!!

    Hi TW welcome back :)

    How are you finding life back on the forums ?

    Trying to remember how to do everything - it's taken me all night to sort out a signature.

    Trawling lists to find familiar friends. Spotted Taxi73 and The Dragon. Both good friends last time round.

    Got a bit more debt which is why I'm back. Major circumstance change and a bit of a rough ride but I'm getting there now and in so much of a better place. Life is good.

    How about you?

    Am not too bad Thanks
  • Hi El, sorry to hear about Mr El. Hopefully having your remortgage through will take some of the pressure off.

    Good luck with your planning.

    Best wishes Tilly

    Hope Me El improves - having the money will probably ease one burden. Next to get job sorted!

    Enjoy playing with the money - I know it's bill paying, but with quantities like that it's a bit like Monopoly :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
