    Thanks Cath, I didn’t do much 😬

    Saw dd at the weekend at home, that’s about it really so a lazy one as are most days at the moment 😆 Poor dh has had a weekend of it though, his brother rang to say his dad collapsed and implied that he was dead, so he shot off round there and it was a panic attack. Apparently this has been a weekly thing for a while they had not told anyone about , they call an ambulance every time and they check him and go 😱 FIL won’t go to the gp though as he doesn’t like them 😳 anyway dh ended up staying in hospital all night while they checked him over this time (not ideal as we are not going out to reduce the risk of me catching something) then had an abusive phone call from SIL saying he doesn’t do enough! They live a few hours away and don’t do anything, it’s little brother that’s the carer who hadn’t been rung as older brother is the favourite! 

    So dh told SIL to go away in much stronger terms than that 😂 it’s been coming 25 years she’s awful, but that’s so out of character for dh, he never swears! Anyway we have since found out that all the info the in-laws  asked dh to get on power of attorney has been ignored and older brother has been to a solicitor and got it without telling us, even MIL doesn’t know what sort he’s got over them 😱 Dh assumed they would ask little brother who is amazing and does everything for them, so we may need to look into that now, luckily my dad has a fair bit of experience and can advise as his business partner is a solicitor. I do worry what their intentions are for reasons I shan’t put here 😂

    Then last night we had a bus stand off, the second this week where a driver coming the other way doesn’t give way and won’t reverse, so we had a four double decker jam and a silly man refusing to back up for nearly an hour, after which he left the car and went 😱 the a neighbour started screaming at the one of the buses queuing to move from the front of his house so the bus sends an emergency siren saying call the police I’m under attack, crazy. The four bus drivers managed to push the dumped car out of the way in the end, by then all the passengers had left. It was far more interesting than the film I was watching in bed 😂

    Only gossip for me today and no mortgage news 😁

    Yep, sticking with my earlier observation that you might enjoy the peace and quiet in hospital - you may find you don't want to go home 🤣!
