Hi Golden6 - One of my neighbours asked me to put his number first and ring him any time during day or night - so, yes, neighbours are important - mine have fully rallied; I also realised that I couldn't rely on my children - it's really the people around you who help out and vice versa. I've looked after my neighbour's kids from time to time when they were smaller - one girl getting free piano lessons for half a year from me, until she decided she didn't have the patience for piano (and she is more sporty than musical) - we are still good friends since then; we kind of know one another on a different level, almost as adult to adult.
Golden: I'll get in touch with you when I am more settled - there is also an overseas visitor who put a spanner in the works, but it's a great distraction.
Cheers
G.
