James : Yeah I saw her when I saw everyone on Saturday - we didn't really speak much though. We did hate each other that much yes - and worse!

Dan : It was our choice to go there. It wasn't our parents’ fault. We all get on a lot better with them now because we understand the effects of our choices now.
Rachael : At first I did resent my mum for sending me there but when I came back it wasn't really an issue because I had changed so much and we get on a lot better now.

applepip_7000 : Did you ever find the attitude of the staff annoying?
