louby loo Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Almost forgot it's Friday! Sunnyday, house sorting it the worst 😢 .... but it does bring back some happy memories along with the sad ones. Froglet, good to hear you had a good catch up with your friend! All I seem to have done this week is eat! Hope everyone else has had a good week too. x 3 Quote
zigzag Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I sorted my mother in laws when she died as the boys couldn’t face it. Amazing how much was kept and fascinating to go through the decades of cuttings from the paper and all the decades worth of funeral orders of service! Keep looking for the glimmers that make you smile. I have everyone coming for afternoon tea tomorrow and then on Sunday we are taking mum and her friend out for dinner, so a nice chilled weekend before next weeks chaos begins! Trying to fit all my domestic cleans in and holiday changeovers from Easter and getting my place ship shape as brother coming to stay when we go away! I cannot wait to step on that ship and sail away next weekend! Have a terrific weekend all. 2 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted 17 hours ago Author Posted 17 hours ago Good morning - 'tis Friday How is everyone? Dear zigzag - happy, happy cruising - hope that you have a wonderful time x Another very busy week - holiday granddog was picked up late Tuesday always feels so strange when she has gone.. looked after two youngest grandchildren on Wednesday, not that they need a lot of 'looking after' now, yesterday was knitting group which was lovely I really enjoy that couple of hours of female company...and then here we are it's Friday again! Our solicitor has been driving me mad - so many mistakes in her figures for probate - I assume she is charging her £200.00 per hour for every time that I have had to 'correct' her 🤦♀️ there is no excuse really - I have been looking after MIL's finances for the past 10 years and I presented everything to the solicitor beautifully (if I do say so myself🤣) - think we have had a breakthrough this week - hope so or there is a danger that I might self-combust! We haven't made any progress at all with operation 'sort-out' this week - must, must just get on with it - perhaps we should make that our plan for this weekend... Super weather - particularly Wednesday and yesterday - whoop! Hope the weekend is kind to all x Quote

Super weather - particularly Wednesday and yesterday - whoop! Hope the weekend is kind to all x Morning all. Sorry to here stressful solicitor times. Selling my aprents house although actually easy/straightward as things go - but it was clealy obvious that our buyer was using a non local convency company, even though the buyer where localish. Some of the questions were down right weird! Question about who maintained the 'unmade' road 😂..... it was a pretty normal house in a normal road. They also kept asking about the planning permission for the rear extension - the house had no rear extension! 🤷♀️ Had a busy week, both with grandchildren, and days out ourselves. Possibly too much eating out! I really do need to do some serious decluttering though. Every night I say 'tomorrow is the day' then next morning life happens and nothing gets done. Hope everyones well, and have a good weekend all..... especially Zigzag on your cruise - think of us when you have a cocktail (or drink of your choice🍹) x 1 Quote
Froglet Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Happy Friday! Have an amazing trip zigzag! Glad you other two have had some grandchildren time! I have had a week where I finally set my mind to properly sorting out the spare room. I’ve interspersed it with lots of crochet breaks but I’m making some good progress. I have various piles to take to the tip and charity shops plus a mountain of paperwork to sort through. The last couple of days I have been moving old photographs from broken albums into some new ones. It’s been a lovely trip down memory Lane! I told myself that I really needed to not do any baking for a bit (more specifically not eating the results of it!) but I am feeling so tempted today! 1 1 Quote
