    I haven't been on for a while.

    My mother is seriously ill in hospital and I join her in the same hospital a week today for surgery! Talk about keep it in the family?

    I've been told I'll be unable to work for 6 weeks, they don't know me, a week maximum.

                  I agree - don't rush to get back to work Vince, your health is the only thing that matters. Best wishes to you and your mother.

                      Sadly my mum passed away today but not before I had the chance to tell her I loved her, I think she just waited for me to say "goodbye". Going to miss her so much.
