That is good news gg Mrs axe had a mail from the man who looks after MiLs investments. Mil had phoned the office yesterday and asked to sell some of her investments. Whoever took the call sense her confusion and of course she couldn’t pass security tests. MIL claimed Mrs axe was with her but to no avail. It was good their processes were in order, but we have no idea how she managed to make the call or even know she wanted to sell stuff The more worrying thing is that BiL who receive the same mai, will probably believe mrs axe was there and trying to sell stuff. |

Little Miss Happy wrote: Good news. Were you still able to have the POA chat gg? I’m very grateful my dad’s partner was able to convince him POA was a good plan. When I suggested it he dismissed it saying I just wanted him dead. Of course his adult son can’t possibly be right about something! Anyway they’re all set up with me as attorney and my flaky semi-estranged brother as reserve. It’s a bit like insurance isn’t it, by the time you need to use it, it’s too late to set it up. |

Little Miss Happy not so far but it’s on my radar when we get them alone I might drop it into a chat next run with mam and plant the seed. My brother and I bought the house off them 6 years ago to give them their equity to spend so they are on board to a degree. I think if they know my in laws have sorted it it may be more amenable and they all get on so well it may trigger them to talk - let’s see. That’s scary but also reassuring bazoaxe good they have checks in place but worrying if bil would just agree. It’s a minefield and we didn’t get to practice on kids! |

You have an inspirational mum gg with all that training! I’m glad it was good news. Good to see the systems working Bazoaxe but concerning about BIL. We have my mum staying for a few days which is lovely and frustrating in equal measures. |

I do hope that doesn't stir things up with your BiL Baz. Having the conversation whilst running sounds like a good plan gg. I hope her stay is more of the former CK2 but pop in if you need a moan! |

FiL was quite the professional complainer it seems. Wading through his files of correspondence raises a few smiles. “Dear Mrs Hargreaves, Further to our recent communication may we, once again, express our sincere regrets that you have been dissatisfied with the new pack dimensions of our cereal cartons.” |
