Cheers lads. Not been an easy time, especially as it was only in May last year that dad died. As my kid brother said, "To loose one parent is sad, to lose two in 16 months is just careless!" Whilst not enjoying the best of health recently, at the beginning of August we (mum, my two brother...

I could be tempted to help & support. No guarantees due to variable work and other commitments but is there a date (month would do) in mind?

Then I discovered how much pain a nearly newborn child can inflict by ...
