Friendly Frugaleers- Accounting Accurately All April

[Wolfcub]

New fred

I find my Mum & Dads interpretation of the same information to be wildly different. And I am sure neither of them report their consultants accurately. I just have to trust their medical people to give them the best possible treatment, even when it means no treatment.

I think if my Mum's pacemaker failed she wouldn't be best served by replacing it either.

Just catching up. Love sorry things are so difficult with your dad 💐

Em FML at the ILs. 🙄 They really don’t like being called out do they?! Did you enjoy the testaments? It’s still on my to read list but I do need to reread the handmaid’s tale first I think.

Need to phone HMRC tomorrow - we were lucky enough to get the help to save account while it was available, but they took my Feb standing order on March first and have cancelled the end of March payment because they think I’ve tried to pay twice. I’m a bit miffed at that because when I set up the standing order a year ago I specifically asked if the date they gave me would work in February so it’s not my fault I’ve now missed out. No idea if they’ll be able to fix it but worth a shot.

Spends today, £47 Boots, some cold stuff for Cagletini and some bigger clothes for her in the sale yay! I’ve been through everything in the next size up and written down what we’ve got, I don’t want to buy more than necessary - how do you know how much is right though? And more to the point why do I not know this third time round? FFS 😂

Very true unescorted. I was very grateful I got a separate call from the consultant today rather than my mums interpretation.

Lying on dds floor currently. She has a cough and has just coughed herself sick. Poor baby. She’s been snotty for a while though so I think this is the end of it.

sing I haven’t finished the testaments yet. Almost there. But it is good!

Dh is apparently going to stay in with dd tonight. I’m skeptical and have w feeling I’ll be in with her later on so have made the floor bed comfy as I can.

Selfishly I just want to sleep through. So fingers crossed!!!!!

Love that is good your Dad was eating , not good re his pacemaker bless him , it's very difficult & upsetting for you all , l wish it wasn't like this for you

Love that's good you've spoken to the consultant too. Thoughts are with you and hope you get some down time over the holidays.

Nsd Sunday and Monday but did a smallish shop and some gardening stuff yesterday

Same thing with ds Em, he has had a cold. We got h tested yesterday because he was coughing so much - negative so at least we can go out today!

Sorry it's so hard for you at the moment Love.

Seems to be only at night Dd gets the cough. Sigh. She’s in nursery today though. They know to call if they don’t think she’s right. They said all the kids have the cold at present though.

Dh went in with dd though. So that’s a plus.

I had the whole of our bed to myself and slept amazingly. Until I had to get up with ds who had wet. Sigh. First day in 5 days

It’s freezing cold here are again today! We’ve had a lazy morning so far.

mrs it’s lovely we’re able to see friends again, our uni friends are coming to see us this weekend and we can’t wait!.

Sorry em, I have a similar FIL I know how frustrating it is💐. I hope your DD feels better soon!

love I’m really sorry to hear about your ddad❤️💐

I need to get some clothes for the DC, going to try and find some for cheap especially for DS as he’s growing so quick I don’t want to spend much on clothes!

Freezing my bits off at the park. Dh had his stabby jabby today too. Last minute via work.

Spends £12 holland and barrat - tea and snackies - japanese rice crackers yum!

And £35 paperchase. Couple of notebooks some pens wrapping paper cards and the worlds biggest bow for dsis’ birthday gift. 😂

Hope you all had a nice Easter. I bought my two far too many eggs so I can foresee some being used for baking.

em your fil is a nightmare. I feel sorry for your dh as it must be hard having such a shit parent when you have two good ones.

Welcome to the newcomers. Lots of friendly advice here.

Love I am sorry to hear your dad's not great. I hope that he is comfortable and settled 💐

Em ahh poor Dd bless her & bless you too, l love Paperchase stuff also the Japanese seaweed peanuts are gorgeous
Life yay to Dh stabby jabby
Born hope you had a lovely Easter too and you can never have enough eggs
Ship ahh that is wonderful , l absolutely loved seeing my BFF , she is so funny and crazy
Morrisons today , 15, curry for Dh & Dd, hot cross buns , lemon drizzle can confirm they are delicious

Rang hospital about Ddad, he seems to be plodding along ok including roaming about last night.

Took Dmum for her eye appointment, first time I’ve seen her since she was horrible to me a few weeks ago. Dbrother has been asking her for money (again) as he’s at his credit limits, but she’s said no. I’ve not asked how Dbro and her are getting on with applying for him to be her POA, honestly it might be in her best interests if it doesn’t get set up... Probably not mine in the future if I have to sort things out for her though!

love it is good that you speak to the consultant too. I would do the same as you for PoA - stay away. It sounds as if it would be a thankless task.

Born I have foolishly said I would cook eclairs for the mob next weekend. I will need to get more eggs. And a good recipe.... they should taste like a proper posh patisserie shop in France smells. All sweet vanilla light.

em that was sods law wasn't it. I hope what sleep you did get was good.

Mrs Morrisons baked goods are really good.

I have had a marginally better day today - boss from hell (BFH) was on happy tablets for most of it. The union person has taken to giving me a pep talk each morning and one of my colleagues called in from her holiday to check I was in one piece.

ships how old are the kids? I know when mine were young enough to not have discovered labels I could get bags of clothes given to me by friends and neighbours. The trick is to befriend a school gate parent who has a child slightly larger than yours with no same sex sibling. My Ds has a lot of female friends from primary school who have an older brother.

Unescorted their best scones are really delicious too
Love am so glad your DDad is holding his own bless him it's so sad to see them going downhill
I must just give you a heads up re what happened to Bobbos money when his Dd2 took over his money as POA. She stole everything he had, she took him for over 50 thousand in the space of 18 months and he didn't have a clue. It only became evident when My Mum got the other Dd involved and then they found it all out. We had to take him to the solicitor where they explained that because he had let his Dd2 look after his cash and his bank account then there was nothing that he could do . We had the devil of a job getting her off his bank account and it is only now 6 months later that he has his own money, she was fleecing him of every penny. I don't know if you can recall me telling you here or not . It is now in the hands of the social worker and l think they may appoint someone to oversee his affairs independently. Just a word of caution

If the 2 Dds had both been POA then this could never have happened in the first place, poor Bobbo, he is bereft because he loved his Dd so much

mrs how can people do that to their own?

@Unescorted

mrs how can people do that to their own?

I don't know Unescorted l really don't , l feel so sad for him l suspect because she thought she would never be found out , she had managed to divide the whole family up after the Mother died and none of them were bothering with Bobbo , he can't read or write bless him , so he was easy meat , too proud and embarrassed to learn in later life and too busy taking care of his family . He was/is a lovely Father/ Man.

I am angry on his behalf. If he can't read or write how can she demonstrate that he was aware of what he was signing. It is almost theft by deception (not a legal person disclaimer) I hope social services throw the book at her.

Yes l totally understand your anger. I was exactly the same . It was pitiful as well as frustrating to hear him still trying to defend her when he found out There is /was no defending her. I really hope Social Services wipe the smug smile off her face . She had the cheek to say that she would give him the money back if he had a Brain Scan. Why a brain scan l do not know! Unless she thought it would show he had dementia. His Drs and his bank have all had the wool pulled over their eyes, his Dr did a cognitive test which he passed with flying colours , he then reported his concerns to SS , they are now investigating it , poor Bobbo.

When Bobbo's will was drawn up the same time as his wife , a mirror will, it should have been specially explained to him what he was signing because he couldn't read or write , he was never helped in this way
and if he had been it would have been documented on the will . So we think his solicitor wasn't even made aware that he was illiterate. It's fraud plain and simple . I just pray she gets her come uppance

Not rtft but be very carful re DM and poa. He will get open access to the bank accounts. Although DM probably won't listen

£4 on skatepark snacks. £35 riding tights.

Oops sorry just read the update from Mrs. Yea I recall that and yip it's fraud.
