Sorry to hear about FIL hope you and husband are looking after yourself.

We went through similar in 2021 and biggest tip I can give is to look after yourselfs as it is a big thing rlto provide support to the parent who is ill and the onf who isn't x

So sorry to hear this KK - sending you a virtual hug. Give yourself time to be in shock 

well done on the decluttering so far it can prove cathartic if done bit by bit. 

My parents have a house full of stuff as they had their loft emptied cos of roof insulation - some of it has gone but still things so much  they are hanging on to . Some with sentimental value but it freaks me out a bit 

I’d hate for me to leave loads of clutter if I passed and have told my mum please don’t leave me with a house to empty - they luckily are healthy but ..

Thanks all x

Productive day. Tired but relaxed. 

Had a challenging conversation with my boss about a plan he has for an illogical role within my team and he’s listening if concerned about how else to cover the task he needs ….

Managed to get out for a walk at lunchtime again, even though it rained - go me! 😉 Happy with that. 😊

I am wondering if FiL has anything left on his bucket list. Yes, he’s 90 and getting a bit doddery, but he’s not in pain (yet). We should consider it and ask him I think …ll

That is a good thought. Even if he hasn't are there things you and Mr KK can think of that he enjoys doing so you all have happy recent memories to remember him by?

Sorry to hear this sad news @KajiKita, take care of yourself and Mr KK too.

FiL is coming home this evening. Mr KK is going round to see his mum and dad tomorrow (he’d also had the thought about bucket list / one last blast on a bike (probably trike) before …. and will ask about that tomorrow). He will also drop off his books into the accountant, having gone through all his eBay spends today for work which he has never done before … 😳🙄😂

Kitchen tap, which is dripping / dribbling every time we use a toilet or run a tap elsewhere, can be fixed with a new cartridge for £10 and some Plumbers time - phew! 😊

All the works in the lounge have been signed off by the building regs chap and he had some useful advice and ideas for how we might do our utility extension… 👏😊

Boiler, which has had a flashing error light since before Christmas, should be fixable with a new pressure valve for £40 plus the boilerman’s time … (phew!).

My car, which has a fault light and keeps randomly and unpredictably dropping into a kind of ‘limp mode’ where it has very limited power, is booked in for being looked at by the mechanics on Wednesday of next week … 🤞

New fibre broadband is still not working …. 🙄
Busy day in work. Did a pitch to my boss last thing about the nonsense role he wants to cuckoo into my team and he genuinely listened 🤞
