littlescottishboy - that must have been quite traumatic. I send best wishes for a very speedy recovery for Angus.

kbowman - I'm still waiting for a public lap.

It's my aunt's funeral and I'm going alone. I am devestated that my DF wont come with me but from day one he used the excuse that he wouldn't be able to get time off work but I don't even think he asked to be completely honest. One of my neighbours offered to go with me and I barely know the man, yet my own DF can't make the effort. He's had a lot of time off work lately and reckons he'll get sacked if he takes another day off, surely not for a funeral??? I didn't realise it was going to be this hard to go to the funeral alone but it's really hit me this morning. I will be going to my parents first so it's not exactly alone, but I really need his support and I'm just not getting it.
