The papers finally came through last week so he went with his Aunt to the bank this week and still we have to wait whilst the bank sends it all off to head office. Anyone would think she was trying to access money that wasn't hers. Hubbies Aunt at 86yrs was in a total panic over it all. Glad you have your daughter to steer you through the red tape . Hugs Mrs a.

They leave a big hole in your heart don't they? I lost my beautiful husband from a brain tumour in late 1996 at the age of 36. There is still not a day go by that I don't think of him and I thank god that I have a little piece of him in our daughter. All the work involved takes time and I am glad to see that you are going to take the caravan out by yourself at the next club event....good on you :-)!! Your nests of paper work looks like mine lol. I always say I will never let it build up again, but sigh, I do. The deer park sounds wonderful!!
