Morning all :hello:

Estate agents valued my dad's house yesterday and it will be on the market next week. They reckoned £360k and were confident of a quick sale - we shall see. We're having to apply for probate, even though there is a valid will, because the house was in my stepmother's sole ownership. This could take a couple of months to come through. Apparently, this is a normal process in such circumstances - although, I admit I'd never heard of it. They never make things straightforward, do they? :banghead:
Inheritance tax will be the next thing to sort out.
The estate should be around £400k.
I get half; my brother (who I haven't seen for 10 years) gets nothing. :giggle:
Can it be sold without the grant of probate?

Weird dream time.
There I was, stood there having a wee when this woman* stands next to me and asks if me and MrsD could help her organise a buffet.
Still enjoying my wee I explained that we couldn't as we were doing a buffet ourselves.
*the woman used to be a friend of ours but its been 20 years+ since we have seen her.
As I say..... weird :wacko:
Were you in the correct toilets?

You parted, you and your friend of 20 years ago, under awkward terms(Or she is about to come back into your life, at an awkward, and unexpected, time.) The fact that you carried on doing what you were doing shows that you were untroubled by this intrusion.
The question asked is not always a sign that help is needed. The fact that you said you were doing the very same, could indicate that she knows this and is offering help, now that you have confirmed her thoughts. Assuming you answered her truthfully.

Something you did many years ago is about to resurface. At an awkward time, for you, but you'll seek to dismiss it. Don't, there may be good news on the way.
Which side did she stand at, left or right. And did this change as a result of your answer?
Seems a daft question, however you will notice that we tend to scan left to right.
On the right to both the above questions, you have something to look forward to.
On the left for both questions, you are leaving it in the past. It's gone, but you'll wonder what might have happened.
Similar with her moving from right to left. Left to right is your past catching up with you and you taking it forward.

Did you wash your hands after your wee wee?
I hope you did!

Still raining :rolleyes: i expect there will be more storms this winter so just bought a camping lantern in case the power goes off Olive Green Camping Lamp - Lantern Kerosene Paraffin Oil Military US Army Style | eBay can use olive oil in these which is non toxic. Got a couple of camping battery torch/lamps but they wouldnt last long. All i need now is an olive oil fuelled tv and computer :okay:
In an emergency you can light the end of a Brazil nut and it will burn like a candle for a short while. Do remember to suck the chocolate off first 😁
