If anyone likes Christmas early , doing jigsaws online and listening to Xmas music all at the same time lol Google Christmas jigsaws and the one I have has a pic of a Santa clause on it .
Just meet one of my neighbours sons for the first time, mum took out equity release on her home without his knowledge, ok her home her finances, now needs home care or a care home, now given son poa to sort things out😬😳.
Lovely holiday pics all
Still waiting for SSM outfit 😂
Could be on a winner there, depending on the numbers. The mum has had money to spend on her lifestyle in the last few years and now the state will pay for her care. Or it could be the opposite and the family inheritance is gone with what’s left paying for private care home.
I think it's great she's had the money and hope she enjoyed it.
With fees, it depends on whether her residential home accepts local authority contracts. If they do, and she has no money, the LA will pay, and the house will be sold with a charge being placed on the house in case there's acuity left. Once her money is below a certain threshold, the LA will pay in full.
If the home doesn't accept LA, the client and her family have to pay.
So the moral is... enjoy your money or protect your money as most of us hit a stage in life where it just goes to the government.
My mums care costs so far are around 500k... she will soon be LA funded, but due to her private pensions being high, she will only get partial funding of around £100 a week.

It looks like she's enjoyed her money,I think the son would of liked a nicer mother than money. I was a bit taken aback when he told me, I thought she was well off due to her career, couple of husband's and their professional careers, I was so wrong. Maybe that's all lies what she told me,I didn't go into that😬. He made it sound like she hadn't got a pot to pee in😱. I think the son is just a bit overwhelmed with it all now at his age(not sure how old he is)mums 95😱.
Hi everyone, does anyone remember those jute shopping bags we all bought quite some time ago, would love to buy some more as the 6 I bought somehow has become just 1.

Shaw's went into administration in 2022 ....I still miss them as we used to get all the rental curtains from them and I'm still looking for somewhere to match their quality and price.
Never did buy a bag though.
Life is a strange thing, just when you think you've learned how to use it, it's gone

I love them.... I said when they arrived, they'll last until I die.... then the kids started stealing them!

Anyone have experience of taking pet dog in car to Spain by ferry from UK? I can see I now need AHC instead of pet passport with at least 21 days notice to vet with rabies shot. But Brittany Ferries has no availability during Nov/Dec for dog friendly cabin on any of its routes 😭. We were thinking of spending a month in warmer climes, (south of Spain or Portugal) with our dog and car. Interested in suggestions from you knowledgeable folk 😉. Thanks!

Does that include tunnel as that’s the easiest and fastest as you stay in the car . Also February is traditionally the coldest month in UK so that might be good or Jan-feb as my aunt and uncle used to go for six weeks with their dog around that time .
Wendy thanks, was hoping to minimise driving time, less time for dog in car too by avoiding Channel Tunnel. But maybe that is only option then 🙄. Will be very looooong journey.

You can get out of the car while going along but o lot to go loo etc .. My aunt used to book a dog friendly hotel half way to break the journey .

Re stamps, I still have a few, but last year we had a couple of friends saying that it would be the last time they posted out.
We have friends and relatives who we don't see much and they don't use social media so they will still get a card. I understand, but do love my cards at Chrisymas.
