Morning! Brand new thread for the new week!

Acey Big hugs and love for you today. Make sure you get a lot of time to rest today as adrenaline will keep you going and by evening you'll probably just want to crash. . I hope today goes as smoothly as it can.

Acey.

Crazy sorry to see you felt unwell last night, I hope you feel a little better today

Mrs Thank you my lovely, you’re gonna make me cry!. You’re right, even when I was pregnant with the twins I only had Algy to look after and he was only little so wasn’t running around like these lot are!.

Wheely Thank you, it definitley is a good sign that this little cottage already feels like home. Think we’ll be visiting every other weekend so that we can get used to it there and introduce ourselves to the neighbours. I might be trying your breakfast casserole as well, sounds delicious!.

I’ve just had some cornflakes and am now off to see DSIS. Hope you all have a great day!

Hugs Acey. Good girl Addie for keeping your mummy strong. 😊

Thank you all so much just getting ready now!

Oh my god, I think I’ve worked out why my family are acting so fucking weird... obviously the funeral has to be paid for after today. My dad had a funeral plan but that was only €350 towards it. I think, they think, that if they leave it all to me then they won’t have to pay a thing. I wouldn’t have asked for money anyway, I can cover it myself but my god that’s got to be it. They are so weird when it comes to money; happy to receive it but god forbid they spend any of their own!
Wow, if that’s it they are even more pathetic than I thought 🤷🏻‍♀️
He had no valid life insurance and only a couple hundred Euro’s in the bank, so if they are expecting a payout they are in for a surprise!

Addie is still kicking away, I’ve never felt her as much as I have today

Morning everyone 😀
Am off to Goldcliff this morning yay!🤩
Hope everything goes well for you today Acey my dear, well as well as it can go my dear , we are all thinking of you and your family and your Dear Dad , Addie will help you be strong and get through it , hugs galore my dear xxx 😘

Acey l am sure there must be a grant available to help with the funeral costs my dear , l am so sorry to hear about your family behaving like this, bless you my dear x

Frange l am so happy you are really up against it with having 3 other DC as well , it is not easy looking after 1 while pregnant let alone 3 sweetie. Give yourself a huge Pat on the the back and be kind to you , from where l stand looking on you are doing your absolute best and then some , well done my dear 😊

Hairspray thanks for the heads up on the Christmas jumpers ! Guess where I am going mwah ha ha ha

Wheely thank you for the recipe it sounds yummy indeed. Had a good sleep thank you and yourself l hope , am definitely going to be taking some pics of Goldcliff for you to see !

PSB loved Carol the weather green dress today! I have said it before but l think I will say it again your DC are amazing for sleeping so well! I know they get it really early and you do too 🤩

DSIS took it very well, she said she’ll visit as much as she can. We’ve gone to the cafe now and I’m having a big slice of cake!. Will get back and put dinner in, think we’re having spiced aubergine bake tonight. Then I might make s’mores for pudding.

Fluffy you should have been given Omeprazole with your Naproxen my dear , at least you are here in Wales if you are prescribed asaids from the GP, your poor thing! I find Naproxen are like giving a donkey strawberries , they don't last long ! 😁 Voltarol geligut be good for you , l use it and. Find it works well for me, fingers crossed for you 😀 ,

That is the spirit Frange , sounds a lovely day for you xx think of all the hols DSis can come and stay with you on 🤩😍

Acey. I hope things go as well as they can today. Thinking of you today

Had a bigger breakfast and a banana today, obviously looked at Christmassy things, going to see the psychotherapist in a minute. 😋🍳🍌🎄🎅

Also bought DD chocolate raisins for the theatre tomorrow. 🍫

Hope today goes ok Acey

How are you feeling today Crazy?

I cannot keep up with this thread

Acey, whatever is left in the estate should go towards the funeral expenses and any other debts before there is any payout to others. So even if you have to pay out today up front (or within the next few days), you should get back as much as possible of that money from your DF's bank accounts before ANY money gets shared between all the DCs. And if there is not sufficient to cover the funeral, then you should make it clear to your DBs that it has cost you money and that you would appreciate a contribution towards giving their DF a proper send-off, but let it up to them to decide what that contribution will be.

Will be thinking of you over the afternoon, and hoping the rain lets up a little, and that your DF gets a good send off, and you do him proud in your talk.

Mrs, I have omeprazole but it doesn't seem to have helped. I have IBS already, so am probably susceptible to issues.

I'm glad you found cake, Frange. [fcake]

Acey, sounds like that could be it. Fools.

The thread is moving way too fast to keep up with at work!

Ah. Can't have a Santa cake! Boo!

That was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do :(

Big hugs.

Big hugs acey I'm so sorry

Hugs Acey
