    Have nearly got all Christmas dec boxes out of corner of front room and into loft. Have been ignoring the large plastic crates - if you ignore them it is like they are not there, right?

    I have two large crates full of Xmas gifts and 5 bags of dinner service for MIL & FIL. Go me. They are still in the front room too - I need to box the dinner set up safely for the loft. Not today.

    Back to it.
    Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.

    Evening all. Just found out tonight that my sister-in-law's funeral is the 15th Feb- two weeks today. Not sure when we are travelling down - maybe this weekend if OH can get the time off work. I am upset cos my brother in law is on his own - well his step-daughter lives close by but she is obviously grieving for her her Mum too and her Dad only died in October. Life can be so cruel.

    Will your BIL have other people to support him Elli until you and your OH get there? I can imagine there will be lots of visitors, there usually are. That is indeed sad for the daughter:(
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
