    Morning:j
    I keep meaning to put together an incase i pop my clogs 'idiots guide' for DH too:D
    seriously though with the benefits and bills he would not have a clue, when he needs to ring his bank now he will say 'get me the number' what dd's do i have etc.
    Unfourtunatly we have had to have the conversation the other way around recently as he is due to go on 'holiday' is 20 days, so all his stuff is in order just in case.
    I am a slight mixed bag of emotions at the moment I am so excited about starting Uni in less that 3 weeks:eek: but also could cry and hide away at the thought of hubbys 6month holiday, christmas alone etc etc. But a light on the horizon is that there is a space for hubby to move back here next summer soooooooo that will mean he will be about for 2 years while i finish my degree woo hoo:D I can do the proper student thing and he can look after Dan and pick me up at 1am when I'm mullered:rotfl:

    Mornin' Pep!

    Mornin SRM. Of course, now your offspring are out of School maybe they could be instructed on what to do, who to speak to if the unspeakable happened to you and Hubby.

    It a morbid subject but so important. When I worked at the Bank ( when they were proper Banks ) people used to come in in a complete mess emotionally and financially....if only they had taken care to put everything all together! ( Sticking copies of everything in an envelope and giving it to an intended Executor or lodging it at your Solicitor is the best idea.)

    Anyway, how are you....Lady of Leisure!

    I'm having to start the course as if I were a single parent too jacs, makes it hard when you have a dose of special needs thrown into the mix doesn't it. Of course my husband is away doing something a lot less scary than yours. I hope the 6 months whizzes by for you both.

    I don't know what is going to happen with hubby over the next 3 years. At the moment he is with one eskimo and he's happy to stay with them. They are signed in the USA but not here (english band). It's looking as if they are going to be huge in the States so it's possible that he might have to move over there before my 3 years is up. I'm just not going to think about all of that right now though, the album is out here on the 22nd of this month.

    Whatever happens I hope the band do great because they are all personal friends. It's a different concept really, the big part of the album is the movie (which has been produced by warner brothers) and it's awesome. It's all about one eskimo and his girlfriend little feather who live in one of those snow globes together. But one day the nasty man mr top hat comes and breaks the snow globe and little feather dissapears. So, one eskimo gets his friends (the band) who are Giraffe, Monkey, and Penguin to go and find little feather. And so the story goes on.

    The americans are loving it, I just really am hoping the english do too :)

    the official trailer.. http://www.oneeskimo.com/visual_album.html sorry being a nerd now
