Hi Min

Sorry you have so much to sort out. My husband, who used to be in banking, says that unfortunately you will have to get the Account put in your name only. Sorry, I guess it makes it feel so final.

Keep strong. All love.

Mavis

Dear Debs

So frustrated for you about the cancellation. I sometimes wonder if they realise what it does to get a letter like that.

Hope the Tens machine does some good.

Hi Nadine

As someone a bit nearer your Mum's age, I'm 66yrs, may I put a slightly different perspective on things.

I gather that there are indications from tests that show whether results of SCT…[Read more]

Hi Min sorry I cant help about bank accounts but when Jeffs dad died we were amazed at how many phone calls , forms and visits it took just to get his mums life back on track In Olives case she is a very lively 82 but she would have found it too hard As you said about not being able to motivate yourself was exactly how she felt too On a spooky…[Read more]

When I asked why,His answer was,those b—ers messed me…[Read more]
