Can I keep this up?

 I am finding it a bit of a struggle keeping up with my bullet journal mainly because senior moments cause me to forget I am doing it! I am determinded to continue though and have just spent half an hour getting next weeks pages prepped.

So far this week has been quite busy. Those death announcements took us the best part of a morning to hand deliver even though it was bank holiday. It also turns out that even though mum left a will because there is property involved we will also need probate. Martin took a look at the gov website and then decided to hand it all over to a profesional,

The first step apparently is to get three valuations from estate agents so yesterday was taken up waiting for them to arrive and look over the place. Laura (a dab hand at selling properties) gave predictions on the valuations from each agent and although the prices came in at nearly 60,000 adrift she was actually more or less spot on for all of them.

We ordered a skip to help with clearing the bungalow. Laura and I spent tuesday going through stuff while we waited for the NHR to come collect the hospital bed, but found very little of use or value sentimentally or monitary so I think most of it is going to end up in landfill. Some will go to charity, her clothes already have, and the scrap man took quite a bit of metal away with him but there is still going to be lots of stuff. A different generation who kept anything and everything in case it came in useful.

Yet again nothing is ever straightforward for us though and the skip people never arrived. When Martin phoned up to find out what had happened at first the guy answering the phone told him it had already been delivered .. err I think we would have spotted a 6 yard skip sitting outside. But it turns out the driver in charge the day before had crossed out the wrong days work as having been completed, and of course that was our day. They send a skip round soon after that but too late for us to get started on the big clear out job.

 The usual list of calamities are occuring all round, Kelly developed an ulser on her eye, tres painful and requiring drops at 1 hour intervals and lots of hospital visits. She went yesterday and was told that it is slowly healing but she will be left with scaring. In the meantime, I managed to drop a large metal pole on my foot ending up in deep bruising. And the potsy dog we have inherited continues to use my carpets instead of the lawn if he thinks it is too cold to go outside to squat!
