What a PITA. I admire what you're doing as described in your "responsibility" post. :A Glad you're not letting it get you down too much.
On a similar note, I've just got my solicitor to write AGAIN to the coroner, reminding him that the second pre-inquest review was supposed to be last August and asking when it's actually going to be.
I've now asked to see all the documents that my solicitor and barrister have got - had to confirm in writing that I wouldn't show them to anyone, because the coroner's only released them in a restricted way - but I've got them. The wodge of A4 paper is about an inch and a half thick. It's all very interesting. I'm learning quite a lot about the law concerning accidental injuries in general, and fatal ones in particular, and I have a much clearer idea of what happened, but I'm still none the wiser about who will eventually end up with what % of the liability (apart from that it certainly won't be LNE for any of it).Edit: and I'm not sure babies are that interested in 'effortless chic'!
Also, anyone who thinks a cashmere cardigan is a suitable suggestion for a baby to wear has clearly never spent more than a few minutes with a real live baby, I imagine.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Lords reform..... A very bad idea.
I know, NPT thread party foul talking politics, but still....
A very bad idea.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

They really were. Ronaldo is going to hurt tomorrow. He was kicked in a heck of a lot of places, how he was still standing at the end I don't know.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Lords reform is so long overdue. However I think 15 years is too long.

Thanks. TBH I think it's much harder for his parents. For one thing, their immediate loss from the accident was much worse than mine - an only child as opposed to a very nearly ex-husband whom I'd lost in any meaningful sense a few years earlier. But also, I am rushed off my feet bringing up two kids, earning a living, being there for my own parents (well, just my dad now), trying to get this house into some semblance of order, attempting to begin meeting some men... I don't have time to brood. They have far fewer distractions.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?
