An Intensive Week.

Have been snowed under by my job as an executor. There is about £70.000 of debt and not a penny anywhere to pay for anything until I get probate through to sell the house. It may take some time to sell as it is in a poor state of repair. It needs new windows, a new kitchen and decorating throughout to start with. The roof and gutters also need some attention so it will go for a much reduced price. Just hope there is a buyer out there. If not it may have to go to auction where we will probably get even less money.
Have done a deal with the funeral home and have pared the event down to a minimum.
We are using our own cars and the funeral people are putting tea, sandwiches and scones etc for free for after the cremation. Out of interest his favourite singer was Shirley Bassey, so have chosen 'Goldfinger' for his carrying in and 'No Regets' for us walking out with 'Peai Jesu' by Sarah Brightman and Aled Jones for the mid service reflection bit. It is a non religious service. The funeral is on Friday at 12-15pm.
Had a day off today and met a friend I used to work with at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park which is about 15mins away on the M1. There are some amazing pieces of work there, some by Henry Moore and it is a lovely place for a walk with stunning views. We had a lovely lunch after a long walk and caught up on our respective family news.I am ready now for a meeting with the solicitor tomorrow, a six month check up with the nurse and yoga in the evening.
Saturday we are going to the theatre with M&P to see 'West Side Story'. We are going up West Street first then for something to eat then on to the theatre, apparently that is what you do when you are young so who am I to argue.
Racheals bloke Dave, who is an electrician came and fitted me two new double sockets in the office. I don't have to go on my hands and knees now under the desk to get to the plugs and there are no wires trailing on the floor. We took them out for something to eat and had a good couple of hours with them.
Missed a call from Sandra this morning, she chatted to Michael so I will get it in bits what she said over the next few days. All he could tell me tonight was that she had bought him a new small hoover to clean the stairs with???
Must go to bed now as I have been awake since 4-30am. I keep waking up thinking of things that I have forgotten etc.
Night all.
