A sort of chilling little tale, like suicide notes. Congratulations on your win

Thank you Brian. It was a chilling tale at that time. I was caught between a rope in the shed or driving off a senic route into the sea. I kid you not.

Thank you again Jan. I have just read your biography. I hope your husband is well again. My marriage broke up 6 years ago. The joy of my escape clashed with the heartbreak of our teenage children. Hence the depression that has since healed.
