    Morning all.

    I've just been woken up by my dd who was felt tipping! She had climbed to get them and then scribbled away. Luckily she also got some paper as the other day it was the wall!

    Picture wise. You need to enter the images url. For my own pics, I usually use photo bucket, upload them to there and then copy the url to here. Someone very kindly explained how to do it a few days back so if you do a search it should come uo. Hth x

    Morning coffee me thinks x

    Epic post alert. No need to read or reply:D just getting a matter off my chest.

    Been quiet for the last couple of days because I had a dilemma. My dear dad who died just nearly 4 years ago owned a holiday home in France. He spent almost half of the year there after he retired and divorced my mother and he loved it dearly. When he died I inherited it. I went there about a month after he died but it was a bit soon for me to decide what to do with it so I pretty much mothballed the place. He was friendly with a local man who agreed to 'care take' the place for me. I paid him twice year ever since in return for him sorting out a few minor maintenance issues, having the gardens done and passing on mail etc.

    I have pretty much buried my head in the sand about the place after that. I had hoped back then we may grow to love it as our holiday home in years to come? maybe. But as my Oh wont leave the house, never mind board a plane that's unlikely:(. Anyway, I had a letter from dads caretaker friends daughter to tell me he had passed away:( so I now have no choice but to face up to it and sort it out.

    I have a colleague who has a friend who deals in property on the continent and I have been in touch with him. My choices are basically....keep it and pay someone to maintain it. Rent it out as a holiday let ( Im not keen on that), or sell it. So I've spent all night looking for flights and am going there on Thursday next week. I will attend the funeral of my dads friend, have a good look at the place and decide what I want to do.

    I feel very heavy hearted about it. I think once I deal with it my last ties with my dad will be gone:(....that makes me feel very sad. But if I think about it practically we have been living off a diminishing amount if savings fir 6 months and whatever I decide, this could be a source of income

    Sorry for a long post. My OH just looks at me with a blank face when I try to discuss with him.....he has lost track of what's what financially:o

    That won't be easy. However its such a nice thing that your Dad enjoyed it and now perhaps it will provide for your family when you need it most,

    A house has many different functions and is only a home to the right person.

    Sending hugs Claire x x x

    Hi Bananababe
    Could you tell me more about the foot pedi machines ...I was going to buy OH something for his feet at xmas but didn't have a clue what to buy!

    xx

    Its called an Emjoi Micro-pedi portable pedicure device, they are around £30 Everyone sells them.,

    It sands the hard skin off you feet. Its not sore and only lifts off old skin not the new stuff. Very easy to use. Battery operated :)
