Frustrating visit to the solicitor, apparently I have no legal rights to Iain's estate, so the kids need to make applications to be executors, and for the necessary paperwork from the court to claim the estate, then if they want me to have any they need to either say they dont want it and pass it to me, or inherit then give it away, so will need to make an appointment for them, solicitor only in office 2 days a week, both of which DD usually works, so will be fun! Also need to take him my copy of the title for the house till he ensures it wont form part of the estate. Fun and games....then went to pay the funeral bill as it came today along with an inheritance tax form...well I say form, seemed lengthy but has been left with the solicitor!

Thank you Donny - hope you have a good trip.

I have been on a decluttering mission and today DD took a bag of unwanted meds to the chemist for disposal, 4 bags of books and three bags of bedding to the charity shop and some Amaz0n parcels to post. Hopefully we will continue the good work.

Jools - life is so bl00dy awkward and bureaucratic. Hugs x

Hi all

Finished work early today, things still a bit difficult there, brain is fried, I go in a 7, so can leave from 1530, so took advantage of that today.

Jools ((big hugs)) why do they have to make things so complicated at a time when you could really do without the additional stress x:cool:

LW - OH has recovered - just, you know what men are like, a few oohs and ahhs last night, till I suggested he go to the GP for a tetenus shot, suddenly its not so bad :rotfl:

Eric is striding round the house like a panther, now he,s an official big cat mouse hunter :T

Lamb tagine for dinner smells gorgous, been in SC all day, will make some cous cous to serve with it.

Going to grab a coffee and get the wood burner going before the tea time rush of feeding the 5 animals and us lot.

Hope everyone,s okay - free hugs for those in need x

Have a fab evening x

afternoon all
jools - ive never been bereaved but cannot think of anything worse than having all that extra stress!! papers to be shown here there any everywhere. im thinking of you a lot and hope this sorts itself out. you have enough to think about

cold here. snow nearly gone but im freezing. sitting under a blanket with a hot water bottle and the heating is up high!!
tea is philadelphia pasta with tuna. never done it but looks lovely. hopefully the kids will eat it.
horrible day at work. not feeling the best and the numbers kept going up and down after i had put the food in. in the end i chucked another 10 chicken breasts in just to be sure i was ok. everyone got fed. 92 today so mums must have thought its cold the kids need a hot meal. its 50% hot dinners to packed lunch. anyway lots to do and by the time i had done i felt like i had climbed a mountain!! easier menu tomorrow so thats good.tuesday is always my hard day as its roast day.
dd2 in her second week of mock gcses and dd1 about to start a level exams so they are both busy.

I didn't realise I was a refugee. :cool:Should I contact them? Decisions, decisions (oh if only it were true - I could do with a couple of million quid :rotfl:)

Good evening everyone

Have just realised I haven't paid a visit today as was so busy in work.

Dinner is left over pulled pork with fried rice, peppers and some green chilli. I need a bit of spice to warm me up in this weather!

Flying visit as I need to get moving with the cooking so will leave with well wishes for all sick people and pets and hugs for those who need or just want them. Keep warm and safe.

Evening everyone

Late again posting. Still enjoying my new job, the kids are fab, now seeing their characters coming through. Things are slightly better at home at the minute, will try to keep talking to dh rather than arguing.

os today dinner cooked gammon, chips and egg (lovely). dw loaded and put on. all worktops cleaned. ds2 uniform sorted for tomorrow.

also helped ds2 with 2 lots of homework. He hates it and creates so much to try and get out of doing it but it is now done. Took over an hour.

Jools ((hugs)) Can't believe there is so much bureaucracy in sorting everything out.
LW & Molly ((hugs))
Beemuzed - thinking of you and your dh.

Hugs to anyone that needs/wants one. Take Care.
