I have finally received my mother's probate this week, only took 9 months !

Hi folks. Yesterday we went out to the local pub to help a friend celebrate her birthday. It got messy- I feel rough as a badger today! Unfortunately Chris and Sophie did not come. One of their cats has gone missing and they wanted to stay home...

Does your wife have a will? If she has I'm assuming you are the main beneficiary and her executor. You need to get a grant of probate which will allow you to deal with her affairs. If she hasn't got a,will - apply for letters of administration...

There's still a world turning out there?? I've had the stress from hell this last few days. She used to do the finances, as that was her 'thing', being otherwise trapped in a chair the whole day, and I found out that the savings account was in...

Morning guys, I’m shattered tbh. This whole sleep thing is draining whatever energy I still have from me…….

I bought a load of reduced price blackberries the other day, now nestling in the freezer. They are humongous, about twice the size of the ones I pick in autumn. Anyway, torn between making blackberry gin, which I've done before ; absolutely...

Seeing as it's world gin day it would be rude not to. Cheers everyone. I hope you are all able to enjoy your weekend given all that's going on around us. Everytime you blink something else seems to have happened. 💙💙

In Scotland virtually all Ceilidhs start with the Gay Gordon’s , it’s an easy “ get up on the floor folks, we’ll talk you through it if you don’t know” dance. In my early years here I got to figure out most of the dances , some are complex. The...

Hi all. Thanks for inviting me in here, I spoke with @Barnfred 55 earlier, who was telling me what a great place it is for support Some of you might have seen my post about my wife. Short summation: she passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on...

Bit of a bittersweet day. Harry had his last exam today and has left school. This means he will no longer be coming round for breakfast and the school run. I first took on childminding duties when his Mum returned to work when he was three months...

I pick litter up when I run, I didn`t even know it was a thing, but apparently it`s called " plogging " :lol: It`s become a bit of an obsession, as I like the trails that I run on to be litter free, but it makes me feel good knowing that...
