Morning ladies and it's still technically night here as it is only 5.30am but I have had a fitful night thanks to a really sore throat and now earache. I think I am coming down with a cold. WAHHH!. I've just refilled the last freezer now as it has refrozen after I defrosted and cleaned them both yesterday afternoon.
Farmeress nice to see you in here and to hear that you have got what you think is a decent price for your recent sales. What a shame about that young lad with depression it's a terrible illness.
Your right about the exterior of a house for a winter christmas Farmeress, most people usually get the outside tidied and garden trimmed down ready for the winter but once it is done it is ignored, and not a regular task to keep on top of it like in summer. One less responsibility amongst all the other preperations thank goodness.
We recently got the paperwork/contract through from the solicitor about the compensation claim and we are a bit undecided because there are so many clauses that if Robert lost his case he would have to pay the other guys expenses....and if he won but the insurance company didn't pay out then Robert would have a minimum of £5,000 to pay to his solicitor as basic fees and a hell of a lot more if it had to go to court. The liklihood of either of those happening is negligible but possible, so Robert has a few more questions for the solicitor before he signs on the dotted line and formally instructs him to do the work for him. Ridiculous isn't it that in a serious situation like this for a person who is deserving of something, that it is still all fraught with 'what if's'. No matter what he gets it will never truly compensate for all he has suffered and what impact his imjuries may have on his future, but he should be able to claim worry free.
That's terrible about your brother using his son's compensation money for his own ends. Over here it would be tied up in trust till the person 'comes of age' and then it is paid to the injured not the parents.
Robert has physio this morning and I am supposed to be in work later on but I'll see how I feel. I probably will go in but I don't really feel like doing. I know I've only got a cold but I feel awful. I'm back off to bed now to grab a couple more hours hopefully.
