When Dad died, they stopped his pension pretty quickly but never asked for money to be refunded. They did contribute towards his funeral though, $2000 I think, from memory.
About a week ago I suggested to MrK he get together with his three sisters and they talk about who their solicitor is, what their wishes are, where the money for their funeral is and all those sorts of details. He has one sister who is very secretive about her will (we don't want to know what's in it!) and lives on her own. We have no idea who to contact for her will when she dies and as she is a hoarder, (omg, she lives in a mess!) have no idea where to even start looking. Two sisters are on board with the idea (guess which one isn't lol) but they all plan to talk about it anyway in front of her and try to get the info they will need. I'll discreetly disappear while they have this talk, but MrK will fill me in later
And I need to have the same discussion with my sister as well. MrK and I have had this discussion often as there is 21 years between us and we are both on the same page for when one of us falls of our perches.
Roma, the site I found is called Stitchnz.co. I used the 'contact us' button to ask if they sold by the meter and for a price and had a reply the next morning. I like 28ct even weave fabric so I can do Hardanger if I want too but it is personal taste and depends on what I am making. For example, my birds were embroidered onto plain quilting cotton as long and short stitch doesn't require counting but pulled thread and hardanger like an even weave. 28ct is about as small as my eyes can manage now, I used to be stitching on 32 or higher. Any purchase over $65 is postage free as well.
MrK has had his appointment with the eye specialist and the specialist is stumped lol. He did a very thorough eye exam and cannot figure out why MrK sees double when watching the TV. I'm wondering (a new expert here lol) if it is something to do with the flashing and movement on the screen.
