Good luck to you Sir_G. I hope the best for you. I've been going through a rough patch meself, although mine is due to not having a job at the moment. I agree with a lot of what you say - my daughter (17) and the critters (4 cats and 3 small dogs, at the moment, not including the stray we've been feeding outside for 2 years : ) help keep me remembering what the important things are. Keep your chin up.
