You are absolutely correct Sean. At my age the dementia is well and truly under way. Didn't think you were that old to remember the shilling though!


Congratulations ????...what a lovely start to Christmas xxx

Thanks all - new penny back at quids towers by lunch today with her amazing mum (packing up her bags in the birth room when the new one was jut 30 mins old!). She's now appraoching 24 hours old and fit and well. I'm mainly in charge of 2p and 5p for the next 3 weeks so I'll probably be down to 30 posts a day or so ;-)

Rory hopped in his car and roared home in 1st place.....just took a bit of time to get his Mum right again, hence the delay in the announcement. Mother and baby are both well now.


Congrats to Quids too, both Mums were in the same room at one stage! That's forum bonding for you....

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
