......... and day five of being an orphan.
Not a lot happening today. I had hoped that the solicitors would have sent the original Wills I had asked for, but you know solicitors. It's about all I have left to do now, to get the Will through probate. I did manage to pick up the Death Certificates from the registrar this afternoon, so the day wasn't a complete waste.
The vicar had asked me to make a few notes of those things I would like said about my mother, especially some of the early recollections. I thought it would be difficult, but it came easily once I started. The later part of her story he knows as he has been a part of it. Anyway, I think it will give him some food for thought.
I spent some time this afternoon giving some thought to a few little gifts I would like to give. A good bottle of Malt to the undertaker for making things so easy. One to a neighbour of my Mum, who did little jobs for her, change fuses, light bulbs etc. To the vicar a suitable donation to the Church and a decent bottle of Cognac for his enjoyment. To her next door neighbour, almost a daughter to Mum, a sizable gift. She won't want it I know, but she has a son who has just started collage and I know she could use a little financial help. It will make her Christmas a good one and it would give me so much pleasure.
I will of course make sure my daughter and her children have a good Christmas, but they will have to wait for the bulk of their inheritance until the house is finally sold. For ourselves, we want for nothing. Perhaps a food processor for me and another finger for Cag....... so she can ware another ring!
It was my birthday today. I was ......... sorry, the number keys aren't working!

Stand Up Hugs, instead of candles :-) You deserve so many more.
Many warm thoughts being sent your way.
You dear man have a delightful spirit. The idea of gifts for those who were so important to your mother, and yourself is wonderful.
Wishing a belated happy birthday to you.
I hope your birthday was as happy as it could be under the circumstances and I wish you many, many more, much happier ones.
I trust you were able to enjoy a glass or two of good wine to celebrate!
Fi, So many SUH's, I feel crushed.......and it's a good feeling. Thank you.
SW, thank you for the good wishes.
Seeker, a good wine? Any wine will do! Seriously, thank you.
