    I appreciate there is a subtle difference. I do think though that admitting you need to buy in "help" is important. Self reliance can become self destructive. If I've missed your point. I apologize.

    Is this you getting up or not sleeping cos it's getting you down? It doesn't help but the things you describe are all situations where people, especially "just now" don't behave steadily. Face book is getting worse, people seem not to read whole comments before responding. Responses are more...

    😂 Apologies for mistaking your age for someone else's! Definitely the same generation! Otherwise, as you say, the rest still applies. I think everyone has days when they wish they'd stayed in bed by the end of them. Perhaps you're just having a week of those days. It makes each one harder to...

    I can still see your head! I'm probably old enough to be your mum. Definitely not a girl and it is one of my least favourite, reductive forms of address (I include boys in this as well when used for people over 18) So maybe try engaging brain fully before putting mouth in gear and make sure...

    And this is where it can get cloudy, as they are a specific profession, some of which are in the agricultural industry. I think, strictly speaking male roof tilers have the worst rate for men but they would be classed as part of the building industry. I think everyone on this thread, including...

    Whilst I understand where you are coming from, I doubt if, even with these awful figures, much could be gained from statistical analysis which would require much higher numbers to describe anything other than the most alarmingly obvious. In this case that the agricultural industry has the worst...

    We can probably all relate to that feeling. It's a sticking plaster that probably eases the pain that is, clearly always with you both. For what it's worth, I think if you did think you could offer children space in your home, all be it fostered or as a safe place for young adults (16 to18)...

    You're clearly not saying adoption is the answer. Not being able to conceive your own child as a couple comes with a whole gamut of emotions and having to deal with people's insensitivity. Just as every person is unique so is every couple's conception story when it isn't a case of simply...

    That's not an especially helpful response from the accountant. I think I'd be tempted to speak to a more professional one. I have found that these people try to keep it jokey until you're serious so I'd say start doing your own planning now. Really understand where you will be after your parents...
