for the support given on my last thread, it was mostly appreciated and taken into consideration. I doubt i'll be around on here for much longer, i think it's probably best that in future i look for support from people who are close to me and understand that part of who i am is the fact in some respects i'm quite naive and like to see the best in people, even if they clearly are taking advantage. any of you whom i've got to know well on here, most of you have my msn, if i'm not on here again and you'd like to contact me i'm pretty sure my e-mail address is on my profile page. thanks again, laura.
