catmag 336 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Canny stressed. If this house move is gonna happen before Christmas, its gonna be right down to the wire. It's been a fucking nightmare from start to finish and this Friday is D-Day. 4 days of frustrating conversations with solicitors, interspersed with packing and trying to do the day job to look forward to. Mint. And I thought I'd left it late! I've still done minimal Christmas shopping but don't really care. The bairn is sorted and everyone else understands. Good luck with it.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Great mood. Lots of Xmas shopping done, followed by pie chips & beans, followed by half a bottle of Merlot whilst watching 5 episodes of Sopranos. Time for bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 In a strange kind of mood. My uncle died the other day (it's been coming for a while as he had cancer all over his body) and he was moved home over the last week so when the time came he was in his own home. He was a great man and was one of those types of blokes that if he was in the room you'd know he was as he'd be putting smiles on everyone's faces that was in there. Anyway when he past away there was a bit of a wait for the Funeral director, and this was a man who loved his drink, especially his rum (not in an alcoholic kind of way, but more appreciated the good things, like when I went to Brugges was saying how he loved Belgium and especially the beers). So calls were made by my aunty and his sons went round as the body was still there. They then ended up opening his favourite bottle of rum and put some of his favourite music on and even my frail old aunty had some of it too. So they pretty much had a wake in his honour whilst waiting for the funeral director to come listening to his favourite music and sipping his favourite rum. I know this would've put a massive smile on his face as that's how he'd have wanted it to happen, not have everybody weeping for him but celebrating the man that he was. Also it's a massive relief for everybody that he's no longer suffering as he'd been unconscious for the last 3 days of his life and wasn't having any quality of life whatsoever. So that's it really, not exactly sure what kind of mood if you like, but just happy that something like that happened as I know that's exactly what he would've wanted.
