As an addendum to what I just posted I now realises that I'm pretty much all on my tod now that I've cut myself off from my family. Since moving to London when I had more friends than I could shake a stick at, I've now got none. They've either moved away or I've moved and to be quite truthful I just can't be bothered to make any new ones. After you've had to make a new set of friends as often as I have it just becomes too much effort to do it all over again. And the thought of trying to form another relationship with a woman just leaves me cold. I'm not far off from retirement and I've already had a stroke so all I'm interested in is making sure I hang in until my youngest child reaches the age of 18. So only 3 years to go.
