It is an absolute disgrace the length of time to gain probate, but 9-12 months seems to be the average….

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 her name, so without a death certificate yet the bank can't even tell me what's in it! I have found out that she had been givng a lot (like, many many thousands) over the last few years to a close friend who had found herself in dire straits, and while I forgive her for that even if it was without telling me (I'd have stopped it), because her main flaw was that she was stupidly generous to friends who needed something. And being stuck in the life she was, with even her sight failing, I guess you would do anything to feel better. Her friend is a chow dog breeder who has lost all her breeding bitches through terrible luck, and Janet financed her getting several more, with all the vet bills, operations, food etc, so that she could start her life again. It also enabled her to have dogs vicariously again now that she could no longer do much towards looking after them, and I can't resent her for that. Walk a mile in someone's shoes, especially if they cannot walk. I must admit though that I desperately need to find out if there's money there and that I'm not destitute, and doomed to Universal Credit and pauperhood until pension age in three years... I also have to delve through what pension schemes we have uncashed and cross my fingers.
I should have kept an eye with her on the financial situation, but when it's the only aspect of life you don't have to think about, you just let it go...
Talk about your life upending in a week! Emotional crisis and financial stress are a hideous mix. I'm still eating the odd snack and getting some sleep when I can, day or night. Or often neither. I can't see the end of this right now.
To have her back for five minutes I'd even take another Liverpool title win. And that's when you know it's serious!
Really sorry to hear about the financial aspects as well as dealing with your loss. Anj has recently gone through all this and is worth listening to…….
Good morning all on this dull one here .So sorry to hear @Pilks is struggling but it is to be expected ,who said the loss is related to the love . I am at a loss with wills and things as I was out of the country when my mother and step dad died ,they had nothing anyway so I presume it was a short time before my bother could get the money down his neck in the nearest pub.
I hope all slept well and have a splendid day today ,off to the shops as per usual for us but then I have the back brakes on the car ,the front ones creased me for two days ,the saying -I am not as fit as I used to be is well wide of the mark as I feel ashamed typing the word fit .
Have a great day all COYB

Morning all, a lovely morning here. Busy day ahead today. Hospital for eye appointment in the afternoon but before that it’s Jess’s school sports this morning. I think I’ve said before I dreaded sports day, but there was no opting out it was compulsory. That apparently is not the case now, you volunteer to participate and you change your mind anytime, even on the starting line. Kids these days….
Have a good day, all.

That’s a tough situation to deal with. Others on here will give you good advice I’m sure. I won’t say stay strong as I guess that is impossible right now, but there will be some light at the end of this tunnel and you are in my thoughts (not that that helps you). Take careThere's still a world turning out there??

Oh I do hope Chris is ok, and let’s hope that they are being ultra cautious- always the best approach. Hope the cat turns up too as if there’s not enough to be worried about

Evening all, a busy one today- physio this morning for my arm which is stubbornly refusing to get full function meaning I can’t drive my car (can’t put it in reverse or put the handbrake on) and have to still use Garry’s as it’s automatic with a button instead of a conventional hand brake. The thought of parking it in a hospital car park made me feel sick so consequently I was over an hour early for my appointment so I could get there before the crowds. In the end it wasn’t a problem and there were still lots of spaces when I came out so I feel more confident for my next appointment. I’m not sure at which point I became less confident as a driver - is it an age thing?
This afternoon was gardening under supervision of course which comes from the last time Garry was ill and me and Josh inadvertently killed off half of the plants thinking they were weeds. I managed to get stripes on the lawn which may not have been perfectly straight but looked better than long grass. Freestyle I think I’ll call it.
Have a good rest tonight everyone, although I know that it’s not easy for some.

Green fingers and myself don’t get along. Hence my employment of a gardener. I sometimes wish I could do it but tbh I have very little interest…..
Good morning all on this damp one here , I hope all are well and had a good night , I hope all tests physio and prodding went well for all involved and that all have a great day today .
The press are concocting in overdrive as the window reopened .It would be nice to see someone through the door at Finch Farm,I see that more expensive stuff is planned for the new stadium ,it will cost a fortune to have a seven course buffet and the rest ! My only thought is that the fans who went last season will stay hopefully be paying out the same ish but the extra 10000 will be more well off and that will yield the income they are after ,I hope they realise the basic wish for the club was to be affordable to the locals .
They certainly are assembling a team of money making executives !
Have a great day all COYB

I used to hate gardening and when I was working employed a guy to do the gardening who in all.honesty was pretty hopeless and not much of a gardener.
Turns out he was having an affair with a young girl who cleaned for us and then topped himself but that's another story.
Anyway I digress, when I finished work I took over gardening duties , became obsessed and now pretty good at it.

Morning all, hospital appointment went well yesterday. I’ve been discharged as the double vision is unlikely to get any worse and is manageable with a prism in my glasses.
The school sports went well too. It was a good idea to hold it in the morning before it got too hot. The children had to wear a t-shirt in the team colours, one lad on the red team wore a football shirt, no prizes for guessing which club, there’s always one! There are only six girls (21 boys) in Jess’s year so it was a limited field in the girls competition. She won a couple of races and would have done better in the long race round the field if she hadn’t stopped to wait for her friend and walked part of the way having a conversation. She suddenly remembered she was in a race when she got to the home straight and shot off like a rat up a drainpipe but too late!
Hope your arm improves soon @Val P , don’t know about being less confident as a car driver as I don’t drive but I’ve certainly become less confident as a passenger as I’ve got older. There’s a roundabout near us which I absolutely hate, we have to take an alternative route, I’d rather not go than go anywhere near it.
Have a good day, all.
