20:43 Beep...why is it always at the same minutes?

See, now you've gone from it being random ... to the potential you can all be standing in the right place (once an hour) ... to wait for it.

Dissertation done. Printed ...
I keep thinking since I have tonight in theory I should be working on it, do another read through, but I'm fed up of it.

No, it's done. Over. Any tweaks/changes you could make at this stage wouldn't have any effect on the outcome. Best just to eat a pie and forget it.

So, PN, how was the too big bottle issue resolved? We are all on the edge of our seats.

I wrote in the post - it's got its own shelf..... it's the width of the fridge and about 1/3rd of the depth, except that the shelf wires run front to back, so it'd roll to the back of the shelf, so I've had to wedge it further forward using a punnet of tomatoes.

belated happy birthday from me too Maggie

Well done on the dissertation Masomnia.

Slept in cars, lorries and trailers. Slept in barns and stables.

Theoretically some aspects of camping shpuld appeal to me. The lugging your stuff around doesn't much, nor, frankly, does the attire.

.

Slept in the back of so many different vehicles, usually in an industrial estate or a lay-by, that anything but a hotel, ( prefereably with 5 stars), is not cutting the mustard.

Absolutely exhausted this morning, had a lovely tea party, as usual I made too much, but various husbands were fed scones and cake for dinner I imagine. Favourite cake was a chocolate mint one, obviously something to do with having a full box of after 8 mints melted and turned into icing. ( well nearly a full box:o)

Spirit, I hope your hand gets better soon.

Nice one Mas.

I remember when I did mine I'd misunderstood the meaning of double spacing and ended up driving along the hard shoulder of the M25 at 70mph in rush hour to get it in on time.

Not my finest moment.

Presumably this is three quarters way, or seven eights or something, and now actual amounts have to be agreed ? Or was that done beforehand in certain eventualities?

This was the inquest. It results in a death certificate, for which I will be able to apply in a couple of weeks.

The litigation is completely separate. I have already settled the family's claim as his dependants and got the money a few weeks ago. The three defendants split it three ways to pay me off, and will reimburse each other as necessary further down the line when they've finished suing each other and liability has finally been decided. I have no desire to settle the children's individual personal injury claims at this stage because they may have further psychological injuries that are not yet apparent. There will be plenty of time to settle those later. They will be much smaller than the family claim anyway.

A skip arrives today.


I am putting special girls stuff in it. Some stuff I gave away, some I'll keep. But stuff that is too tatty to keep ( semi broken rugs that were worth patching up for her but not for someone else's horse for example).

I feel as ready as I ever will.


Also, we are going to de junk generally. We've been planning a skip for a while and DH suggested we should get one for next weekend and I agreed. Having time to do her stuff alone will be easier. . I might see what else I can dump in it before the weekend. .

All our old field bags might nearly fill it!

9am weekdays, 10am weekends - the exception being midday for students.

Latest time to call would be 9pm, unless I had messaged first to ask if OK to call.

Thanks, did see that before calling (at 8.58):)

Youngest couldn't cope with the bus so I ended up taking him. By the time we arrived he had got himself in a right state but the staff were brilliant and soon calmed him down, got him to where he needed to be and with his helper.
