    Talking to the few people I trust completely over night I have woken up with a different view, I am still struggling but I have accepted some things that are not going to change, and I have to learn to deal with it, better than I was doing before.

    I know this is Day 1, this is a new SimonMac.......
    So that's what happened to SY01, he exercised the substitution clause.

    Seriously though, chin up and sort your self out. Things will look a lot better a couple of months down the line.

    I know this is depressing, but was going to talk about a horrid subject, 3 kids who are my kids ages (just at uni) had childhood friends committing suicide in the last couple of years, two in the last two months.
    We are all shattered, these kids used to come to my house all the time after school and at weekends.
    I have no idea what's wrong with the youngsters nowadays, I honestly think the younger one's lives became more and more complicated, but everyone disagrees with me and thinks yongsters nowadays are spoilt, because a youngster has an iphone and and ipad it doesn't mean their lives are easier.

    Anyway, its heartbreaking, life is already too short.
    It's always happened.

    Unfortunately unless it's happened to people close to you or you then you don't know about it.
