Thank you Adam.

Still no call from my friend, but you are right, he probably has a very good reason. It is half term here and he has kids so probably busy doing stuff with them. I am sure he hasn't forgotten me, maybe just wants to let me have some thinking time about stuff.

Have talked to a different friend today who came for lunch and she asked me how I was doing. Told her a few bits which made me feel a bit better and have arranged for lunch next Friday, so I have something to look forward to at the end of my first week back. Hoping I can get through until then without cutting again.
