Well, the house is a tip, DH is still off work with Sciatica and won't be back in till Thursday at the earliest, AF is being fussy about whether or not she's coming to stay, DS has a friend around on Thurs night - did I say the house is a tip!!, DD is doing her best to be funny but I'm not getting her jokes at the moment! Boots sale is on tomorrow and I normally go and buy lots of stuff for presents through the year and for next Xmas but I don't think I'll get much with £20 and I'm just plain fed up with it all!! Roll on February when we'll have DH working all the hours he can to make up the shortfall in his wages and DS wanting a birthday party [his birthday was in November] and DD being DD.

Sorry that was a bit of a selfish rant but feel better for typing it all out - hit the keys very hard.

On the plus side - nope can't think of anything as I've just remembered that the dog is poorly too! His back legs have been playing up all day.

I'm away to bed now and I'll start again tomorrow, thats if I can drag myself away from my new phone - upgraded on my contract, cheaply.

Haven't had the time to read back so hugs, spoons and healthy vibes to all who want them and I hope you are all safe and snug

GI if possible wash with bio powder and don't rinse - I think.

Trousers fixed, bed now. Due to go walking in the morning but it may be too cold.

Well it's heading for midnight and I have just finished the kitchen, made sandwiches, WM and Td Fed with DS,s pe kit and swimming stuff. Bed now, crappy day at work to face as now been split up from the one person who talks to me (my friend and it now appears the only other adult in the building:( ). I wouldn't mind if we weren't all supposed to be professionals, gets you down though and starting to dread going in, I may even buy a lottery ticket.

Skint - that reminds me must do my will as I made one when DS1 was born 8 years ago and since then have been divorced, married and had DS2 - methinks it's maybe a bit outdated now:D

In a past life I would be telling people several times a day to think about making or updating a Will every time I saw them when dealing with life changing events.

I practiced what I preached and insured myself to the hilt, but I haven't mentally or physically reviewed my will for over 6 years :eek::eek::eek:

I have done a Codicil tonight ready to be witnessed as I had a blonde moment (I have lots of blonde moments these days :rotfl:) as I did a Codicil to change executors on EX MIL's will when she lost her husband nearly 2 years back. After trawling through the PC in the Room of Doom I found it and was able to save and alter the wording relatively quickly, but I need to get it witnessed impartially by two non beneficiaries before I go in on Thursday for my steroids, just in case it all goes to the wal and I don't get let home again before Skint Baby is delivered :eek:

I do want to change the main body of the Will, as too many people have predeceased me that would have inherited under the multiple fatality incident clause (wiping out all Young Skints and me in one go) and thinking it through logically who is left following the Laws of Intestacy, people that I wouldn't want to inherit, would inherit if the unspeakable happened :mad::mad::mad: it might be morbid, but I need to think who would need the money the most and who wouldn't waste it on "Magic Beans" and I certainly need to give that a lot more thought :(:( and Thursday is too close to call for comfort on that one.

And it's going to get mega complicated as I am an Executor on my Dad's estate that I am working through at the moment..(slow going when I am not myself and too many blonde moments occur!)....so everything HAS to work out, I will leave a papertrail of destruction behind me if I don't (even though I got DD1 on as a reserve executor on my Dad's estate and although she is a smart cookie, it would be too much too soon for her to deal with)

But the frog is swallowed whole (bar the signing) the unsecured debt I am liable for is calculated.....a very very bitter tasting frog to swallow tonight :o:o......Now the tough decisions need to be made, to keep the debt moving round and round as cheaply as possible :money: while not adding anymore to it and chipping away at it a £1 at a time until the passage of time allows me to kill it in one swoop or I can get back enough of the old Skint with the physical and other issues I have to cope with permanently now to be productive enough to cut it down to size the traditional way.

Well, no more flying tonight.....going to lurk with a warm milk now, catch up with Fred and check out Debt Free Wannabee Fred too

TTFN :wave: catch again tomorrow - hugs, sticks, spoons, snorkels as appropriate come help yourselves

As DustyKitten says wash the area well with biological washing powder its the only thing that will deoderise the scent your cat leaves. What about leaving the litter tray near to this spot if possible to help break the habit. A family member had just bought their cat a felway and it seems to have worked wonders, if the cat is nervous it may help the situation. I know this sounds kind of gross but what about placing the number 2 in the litter tray as a hint about where to go. HTH.

Marriage invalidtes a will (unless made in anticipation of marriage) so that will won't be valid any longer. HTH

Off to find a list .............

Morning everyone. It's -7 here this morning. Was coughing during the night and have a headache so have taken some meds. Come back to bed with a cuppa. Dentist appointment this morning then meeting DD. Said I would help her out with heating money during this cold spell.

Not much flying the past couple of days. Just the dailies. Hopefully get some done today when I come back.
