That's a pretty speedy response from your MP, and I can't believe they acknowledged you were right."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

This is going to be a very quick one tonight as I ad a phone all this lunchtime to say my bil had been found by his neighbour collaped and non responsive. He is now in hospital and basically waiting to die. He has had a masive bleed on his brain which he cannot recover from. I am going down tomorrow and will probably come back on thursday as I have an optician appointment of Friday which will be the first check since my operation. At the moment I dont know whether I am coming or going. Hi neighbour has been superb and I cant thank him enough. Must go now as more to sort before I am ready.
