    Yep that was in May in Canterbury true mate that is one of the worst things to happen to me ever. I mean someone close to you dying is hard work at the best of times let alone of its one of your best mates.
  • Lows:

    (1) Divorce (started 2008 and still ongoing but will be absolute 2010 now). Have never known anything quite as stressful with the time and money it costs.
    (2) Everytime my little Princess asks me "Daddy, why dont you live with us anymore?"
    (3) Losing a mate over something quite riddiculous.
    (4) Discovering I had a "lump" and had to go through weeks of tests before I got the all clear.

    Highs:

    (1) Every minute I spend with my little Princess. She's the only reason I'm here. Cant fail to be happy around her.
    (2) The very first beer after completing the London to Southend bike ride in September.
    (3) When I got the all clear after the tests.
    (4) When the Police found my missing brother twice this year (oh the joys of Bipolar disorder!)

    Hopes:

    (1) To finally get a roof over my head with most importantly a bed (after spending 18 months on a sofa!)
    (2) To complete my next physical challenge on the bike
    (3) We manage to get my little Princess into our School of choice.
    (4) That my family remain healthy...

    and (5) that Spurs finish in the top 4 (ok I can hope but I really dont expect miracles!)
