    They say that you should review you will every so often, to reflect what's happening in your life, so you are definitely being sensible ! :beer: Hoorah for MFW, I'm sure we're all in a better place with our planning due to this board:T
    Weird as we're updating ours as well :eek:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    We are all getting old and sensible.
    Glad to be doing it in company :rotfl:
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    its one of those things that keep bouncing away in the background for us too, every so often ( like when son is being a total pain) i think ohhh i need to sort the will :)

    i do need to sort it though for both of us, but it's about £3-400 and right now we cant really afford that, i need a new laptop first for uni as the one i am currently using it doing my head in :)

    Very good planning with your beloved animals though ( both Watty and KC) as I imagine it must be hard to get a family member to take them should the worst happen

    There's a free/minimal payment scheme every year for legal peeps to write wills, I'm sure Martin's spread the word before now. Thats a huge amount of money to pay, absolutely!

    Yep its in November, however, when i try they seem to have no places left, so will keep trying but maybe save in the meantime :)
  • That's a lovely thing to do. We have 3 cats and so I know it must be a relief knowing that they will always be looked after.

    Yes it is a relief. Now I just have to apply to the charities I've chosen to make sure I can register for the schemes then write the will.

    Decluttered a pile of research papers (52/365) and another file of papers no longer required (53/365).

    Handsome baby had done 3 days of his rehab lunging and now very lame. I think we can conclusively say that did not work as it was supposed too and am now waiting for vet to phone me back.

    The vet has not phoned back but has texted to say he is very busy but will call today. Slowly I am getting crosser as I think how much I have spent on 2 vet call outs, 2 saddler call outs and 4 physio appointments whilst vet tells me it is all behavioural and caused by my lack of confidence. Clearly Handsome Baby has not gone lame because his mother is a nervous wreck. And I've been saying something is not right with the little chap for a few months now! Vet now on 'borrowed time'

    That doesn't sound right, does it :( I hope the vet *will* redeem him/herself, or that you can find someone who knows what they're talking about.
