Is anyone else really fed up - in the space of a week we have lost from the Sada v t list
Cheese
S and g
Potatoes
Parsnips
Fizzy wine
Maltesers big box

And from the t v Sada list we have lost reloaded and beans

If it wasn't for free ww meals and free cereals there would be very little left to make the effort of going shopping -even more difficult to make up a £40 shop

Not long til loreal MOCs reset

Just heading out to Mr T to get more Alessi cutlery and to use a £5.00 off £40.00 womble I found in the car park of another store on Monday. Printed some more Reloaded vouchers and some Beanz to make up the price and pay next to nothing.
Need to shop as having a really bad day and been in tears most of it.
I care for my Mum basically full time and my brothers( who do nothing ) and sisters ( who do what suits them) have said that Mum needs another signatory on her building society ( I sign at the mo and she does when she can get to town) so that it is 2 to sign all the time. Dad left a bit of money in B/S and a smallish ISA (about £3000.00). The ISA money went into the budget account and as my brother and sister ( who are Dads executors) did not sort out my Mum's Italian pension ( as Dad was Italian) most of the money has gone on paying her bills. Now my sister is making a fuss about the money and I said ok I will get together the statements so you can all see where it has gone. However when I was on hols im September my brother took all the statements home. So I called him ( I dont usually talk to him as he took most of my parents money already for 3 failed business's and left them with a 50 year interest only £60.000.00 mortgage) and asked for the statements back so I could order any missing ones.
He talked over me as he usually does and said it was not a witchhunt and they would all draw a line in the sand. He always talk like that and then he said that her finances had been mismanaged and they all neeeded to deal with it. So I tried to talk to my other brother \ he also shouted me down, so I came home and wrote them all an email listing all the ways I have saved my parents money in the last 5 years. I.E Council tax benefit, pension credit, atttendance allowance, £100.00 cashback , cheaper insurances and free shopping.
I then told them that if they think they can do a better job then ok but I won't be looking after her anymore.
Very sad as I have put my parents 1st for at least 5 years when my own life is falling apart.
So sorry to ramble off to fleece Mr T now.

Your poor mum, it must be awful for her watching the garden go down when your dad looked after it so well Really sorry for all you are going through. If I thought it would work I would suggest you turning round to your kin and saying you were not going to do anything for a month and it is all down to them, problem is I suspect your mum would suffer for this.

You do have one advantage over them though. You are the one spending time with your mum, you are the one that has her company. It may sound strange but I would give anything to be in your position, I lost my mum when I was 20, she never met my kids or my grandson, I miss her and strange things still catch me out, accidentally picked up her engagement ring the other day, my step-mother told my father off for giving me her jewellery (she thought she should be able to give it to her daughter but that is another story ) but I am glad he did, but for some reason this time I just wanted to blub.

All I can say is enjoy your mum while you can, and forget about everything going on around you when you are with her if you can.

My mum has been gone 9 years now, my youngest was in 1 st of high school. My gang have had so many major highs and lows as they went from being teens into young adults over the last decade my mum would have been so proud of how they have all turned out though. Every time we hit a milestone I feel wretched that I cant share the news with her ...
My dad has been in a home for nearly a year now and he is drawing into himself so in a way I am loosing him as we'll - physically he is still there but he is loosing interest in anything going on in the outside world
