Seriously, granger, I'm single-minded enough to know that if I give up on something I don't look back. I can be extremely cold in that regard. I learned years ago - the hard way - not to get emotionally embroiled in anything.

I don't have an addictive personality otherwise I'd probably be dead by now!

I've already discussed giving up form studying with my wife. She's been on at me for years for the amount of time I spend on it and she'd vowed to use my old form books for my funeral pyre - and she was only half-joking - but when I suggested I felt like giving it up she was horrified. I know when she's faking and this time she wasn't faking.

There are so many things I could happily spend time on: golf, snooker, property, seeing the country. I just enjoy the mental gymnastics involved in form study - or at least I have done for years but the RP is killing it for me. When I'm not studying the form I'm doing the Times crossword but I know I should be out walking more or going to the gym but I'm rather tied at home with an elderly mother-in-law to look after and the form helps me deal with that.

I haven't ruled out out moving to Spain either. I'd happily ditch the form if the move became feasible.
