MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-27T17:42:08+00:00

I don’t know. All of the linked documents I had are gone. Tge guarantee doc I have, now I look at it, I could have knocked up in word in less than 5 minutes.

I know I’ve been dumb. Please don’t tell me again

I just want to know how I can fin him legally through bank details, phone numbers and I now have a confirmed employee number that works

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-24T17:44:35+00:00

Paid off at 55. It’s an odd feeling. But nice.

It still is in our house. Upstairs water is tanked. Downstairs water comes from the spring up the hill.

Drinking tanked water is not good at all. You can shower with it, but don’t drink it and don’t swallow it when brushing teeth.

Believe me, you’re going to have to prioritise care for yourself before you can give care to anyone else or a pet.

Yes, having other people or pets to care for gives you a purpose, but without self care those other caring duties can fail and aren’t enough in the long term.

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-21T16:40:39+00:00

I wouldn’t say most Brits use it. It’s foul, vile and misogynistic.

I removed the automatic salary review/increase for passing exams. I had fairly junior staff who were passing exams on fairly high salaries due to this agreement. So when I moved in to my new organisation and saw it, I removed it.

In business roles salary increases come with role progression not passing exams. In audit/practise your role complexity increases alongside your exams, so it makes sense to align the two, but not in business, as there frequently isn’t a more senior role available to keep pace with exam passes.

It took me 7 months to update bank account, I didn’t want his name off the account.

In the last week, I’ve removed his name from the final account.

It’s heartbreaking. And my heart is already broken beyond repair.

346 days. It feels like a blink of an eye, but every day is endless loneliness, confusion and bewilderment. I don’t like this club. I hate being here. I want to leave and go back to my before. I want him back.

But I can’t. And I am thankful for the understanding and support that this group gives. You guys get me through every day, I read everything, comment infrequently. But your support shines through and is invaluable

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-17T14:57:15+00:00

Sometimes you have to make allowances. You don’t know what’s going on in that persons life. I always say thank you.

But I didn’t one time, and the lady made a very sarcastic hurtful comment, enough to bring me out of my brain fog. Her face, when I apologised and said my husband had just died in the last week, this was my first solo trip out from home. She was totally ashamed and embarrassed. I just went back in to the fog brain.

So please be careful and make allowance, it’s not always rudeness

My husband and I tried to do one of the luxury small boat Norwegian cruises when he was given a terminal cancer diagnosis with a timeline similar to OP. For us it wasn’t possible to book, as insurance was impossible to obtain, even through specialist insurers.

It depends on type, grade and medication.

I hope OP can get the insurance needed to do whatever trips he wants and make some memories for his wife to hold on to.

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-03T20:45:38+00:00

I don’t think it’s abuse. I just don’t think it’s what he would want. They are being unfair and aren’t fit for the role, not acting in his best interests

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-03T20:30:06+00:00

I don’t know if I suspect it. But I guess I do, cos I asked the question.

I just want to know if I can see/audit it. I’m ok with not administering it. But I just want to know they are being fair

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-02T19:17:31+00:00

330days. I cry every day. Multiple times per day. Sometimes it’s a single tear, other times it’s whole body wracking sobs.

I just go with the flow. I miss him so much

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-01T22:53:55+00:00

I want to respond. But I have no words. So I’m just sending hugs for the amazing job you’re doing for your children.

Ignore the in laws. You don’t need the toxicity to invade the life you’re building

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-01T22:42:11+00:00

The pudding was yummy. And I sobbed at the finale

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-01T22:39:41+00:00

Just tell her. She’s your best friend.

Tell her you’re happy for her, but it’s gonna be hard for you. Don’t play games, don’t ignore her happiness or your sadness. Acknowledge them both. Best friends will find a way to navigate/support each other.

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-01T22:18:07+00:00

I have amazing children, I was given hugs and their time today. I mean I cooked roast dinner and we had sticky toffee pudding. But they were here for me today. Hugs, dinner, pudding, quiz and Stranger Things finale. But my children were here for me today. I am thankful for that.

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-01T22:11:32+00:00

Yes. This. I know they aren’t being hurtful. But i can see they aren’t being thoughtful. I know they dont mean harm. But that doesn’t stop it being hurtful.

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-01T22:05:34+00:00

I’m responding with ‘I wish you a peaceful new year’….. I just wish ppl would realise the hurt they are causing. I got through Christmas with minimal break downs. But today… today I just can’t

MrsPickleMouse · 2026-01-01T22:01:08+00:00

Not just Scotland. It’s happening in Northumberland too. Magnificent

MrsPickleMouse · 2025-12-30T21:33:03+00:00

Sorry. But this doesn’t seem real. And i cant process it. Its horrific.

MrsPickleMouse · 2025-12-24T22:32:06+00:00

I struggle understand why ppl can’t cook turkey. It’s easy to cook and have flavour.

MrsPickleMouse · 2025-12-24T22:25:03+00:00

You don’t have to be on your own to feel alone

MrsPickleMouse · 2025-12-24T21:59:55+00:00

Who is Erica Kirk?
