Mortgage Free now aiming for FIRE

Funeral went well saw 4 of my cousins which was nice. I really do not know them that well but one lives on this island which is nice. I know her daughter as well she’s more my age. 

My dad oh dear we did collect him late Weds from his so called girlfriend. She knew about the funeral so we were worried she might pitch up as she also knew my aunt but luckily she didn’t. She’s really awful and in all the time we were with my dad he did not mention her once. He’s far more calm and himself when he’s not with her. It’s really sad but because of her daughter facilitating her mum going to her we can’t do a lot. We did drop my dad back and got all his care back on. He’s lost more weight as he does not get meals of wheels or carers to cook for him. She eats everything so even when he’s home she eats his food. He just thinks it’s great he’s lost weight and she’s pleased too. The fact he’s lost more than half his weight is just not good. Worrying times but going over next weekend so hopefully she’s not pitched up yet at my dads. 

Got some work done to prep for business we have to decide systems and it also turns out dg has been storing all her stuff on her harddrive. We’re going to use One Drive so I have to switch from Google. 

I only need to return my laptop and phone so that’s really cool. I can keep my headset and keyboard mouse which are fine.  

We were playing golf today but then my sister offered to collect the chest freezer so we didn’t in the end. They are not coming for dinner but collecting the freezer next weekend. 

They have kindly agreed to hire a trailer and drive us to my mums to pick up the apothecary plus we help out with putting her garden stuff away. We will also try and straighten my dads place out. I say try it’s a mess. 

It will be Friday to Saturday so cats will be fine overnight. Ginger couldn’t get in the flap earlier which is not good. 

Today is cleaning the house continue to build furniture for guest bedroom and maybe do a bit in pool bar. We got the sofas delivered they look ace and the coffee table fit too. The new expensive one for lounge is great too. I now need to list the freebie sofa my sister got us as her friend no longer need it.

Sorry to hear all this.  

Perhaps its time to call on the daughter en masse and tell her not to take her mother to your dads again.  Firmly.  And unequivocally.  Couched in the terms you've mentioned there's abuse of your dad and his belongings going on.  Perhaps the daughter thinks its an easy way of dealing with her mother,  saves her looking after her.  Who knows but that's their problem.   Tell them you ve had a ring doorbell fitted and the moment they turn up you'll be round to eject them.

Just caught up. Loved the photos of the place (and the cats).  As for your dad, love Daisy's comments above x
