Only just able to post after an hour of fuming!
My mother called this morning. Very distressed. Her boyfriend (the one who tried to kill 3 people - 2 of them his parents) wants to stay in her house when she is dead. He has a house. Its going to cause massive issues. I don't want anything to do with him - especially after my mother goes.
Of my mother's children, I am the middle in terms of aggressiveness. Next up is my brother who was in 1para and turned down the SAS. However my elder sister is the most aggressive, nastiest person I have ever met. She is going to go steaming in! Time to head into the trenches and keep my head down.

Alas my mother is so out of it she does not realize she has weeks to live. Her brother is a doctor and has spoken to her doctors. But who can blame her burying her head in the sand? Thank god she listened to me and has been travelling all she can the last 10 years.
Mrs BP has offered to care for my mother! When I met Mrs BP she was a carer. Her last patient had leukaemia! She was only given weeks - but Mrs BP got her 2 years!
However we cannot move baby bp down to Windsor - so my mother would have to move to Llandudno. Sounds bad - but the alternative is not to leave hospital.Comment

I have made my mother promise she will not change her will without speaking to me. But she has previous form! My father died when I was 6 leaving a stack of cash. He got the rights to an undiscovered Mozart manuscript in the 1950s. Hence I was born in a house called Mozart! When I was 8 my mother decided to remarry. She had 3 kids, the new husband 2 kids. 2 days before the wedding she told her mother. Her mother told her to tell the family solicitor. My mother refused. So my grandmother called the family solicitor. He called my mother, gave her a bollocking and sorted it all out. But my mother is sneaky. And now she is confused.
By the way, with 5 kids they had a child together. It then went disastrously wrong. Really really bad times followed.....Comment
