    Evening all

    . Had a lovely catch up with my friend but feeling exhausted again so nothing else done other than posting parcels and walking Bear. While i was in town i popped into a charity shop and bought a couple of soft toys for Bear and gave him one when I got home. It took him about 10 minutes to cover the carpet with stuffing but had a lovely time doing it.He doesnt eat it but just enjoys the destruction.
    I bought the teas this morning for both of us - only £2 each so not a lot of money spent.

    As it is such a weary day there is nothing else to re[port so have a good evening.

     Bear is so lucky to have joined your family.  So sweet that he gets a cuddly toy to play with.

    He doesnt so much play with them he destroys them by chewing a hole and then pulls the stuffing out. and abandons it on the carpet. He then chews on the bits of rag that remains. He isnt a chewer and wont play with proper chew toys but does love teddies.

    Evening all

    Its very warm today and wet so coats needed but not pleasant.

    Not much to report except to say I have had a letter from Surrey police to say that bils car isnt taxed and has been seen in their area. Ane mail sentto them  pointing out the insurance was not renewed as he died a week before the renewal was due), DVLA was informed of the death via tell us once and they were sent the part of The V5 saying the car had been passed back to the leasing company. Somewhat annoyed that I have been wasting my time telling people about the death and they cant be bothered to update their records.

    I had to do a bit of shopping of things I couldnt get on Tuesday and got some bits for Mr LH to take away to his festival next week.

    I had to walk Bear without the scooter as it was raining so only went part of the way. I must get a cover for the electrics so I can use it in the wet. I dont eally want a huge cape that covers me as well or I will roast even in the winter.

    Nothing else to say. Have a good evening.

    Unless they have changed things the death of the main person on the insurance cancels the insurance out.  I know a family that got caught out by that.

    Yet more hassle for you!  You'd think no one has ever died before.  Hope it's all sorted quickly.

    I just hope the police realise that this has nothing to do with me and dont try to prosecute. I do have a driving licence but as my eyesight can be off I dont and havent for a long while. I only keep my driving as id  because I dont have a passport and dont see why I should have to pay for one to prove who I am. Most places accept a bus pass but not al.l
