Bren

I keep checking to see if you have been on. Hows things?    

How's your mum Hun

How's the house selling going Jude?

had lots of interest hun and a couple of people who want it but have property to sell.   
we have a few viewings in for this weekend coming

I've been doing the same Judes    it ain't like Bren not to be on    I'm worried about her   

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Jude

Bren ....everything okay

will pm you

   xx

Just to let you all know i havent abandoned the forum   
My mum took a turn for the worse and i was spending as much time with her as i could   
Unfortunately she wasnt strong enough and passed away on the 14th May   
The funeral is on Wednesday   
I will be back on the forum soon xx    

    So sorry to hear about your mum hun.      I'm sure the time that you spent with her over her last few hours/days will of helped her enormously   

She is now no longer suffering from that terrible disease which caused you and your family so much heartache hun   

Sending love and prayers to you all at this very difficult time      

We're all here for you   

I am so sorry sending my love and thinking of you all at this time.

   

Bren I am so very sorry to hear about your Mum, I know nothing we can say will ease the loss but to let you know we are all thinking of you and sending our love    

Take care xx

So very sorry to hear this news Bren. thinking of you    

  thanks    
i went to see my mum the day before the funeral and she looked lovely very peaceful    
The flowers we chose were beautiful and the funeral went off ok   
Im busy trying to sort all her finances and house out now     we need to give the tenants notice so we can sell the house       Im rushing back from work atm making phone calls and have a solicitor to see next week about getting probate     Then im going to have to sort out her tax bill for last year     I wouldnt normally work it out until nearer the deadline but suppose they will be wanting any money owed on the rental income asap  
It will be a relief once everything is finalised  

How are you doing Bren?    

Im feeling better this week Jude   
We had my mums ashes interned on Monday with the priest blessing them with holy water
The ashes were buried with my dads ashes in a double plot  i felt so much better knowing she is with my dad now and  they are both in a better place

Im still not sleeping very well but i think i have a few things going on there  
Stress    work    worry   it all takes its toll      Im really suffering from hot sweats at night aswell    im at that age     
ive sorted out most of the paperwork and passed it on to the solicitor and accountant to deal with now     Ive decided its best to let the proffesionals deal with everything so i dont have to stress about it    
The tenant has been given notice and ive got the estate agents ready to market as soon as they leave
Theyve said they will accept viewings but id prefer it empty before its put on the market   Its a shame none of us want to be landlords because they have been very good tenants Its just too much hassle having to try get a buy to let mortgage and dealing with tax returns etc
The job is going ok now i know what im doing   well i do most of the time   
I just dont seem to have much time to do anything atm so not much happening with the house
Im getting another quote for new windows on Saturday we've decided to change the windows and are considering choosing the irish oak colour rather than white then getting the outside rendered   The brickwork is terrible with loads of holes everywhere and paint all over it  We hadnt noticed that until we took the trellising off  Its all a bit work in progress here   we cant get any rooms decorated until we get the windows done because we need to get most of the walls and ceilings  skimmed so really want to get that sorted asap

Sounds full on at your end Bren   hope your sleeping settles down soon although i imagine time will be a healer and now things are in solicitors hands it must be a slight weight lifted.

I think youve done the right thing Bren getting the solicitor to sort everything out it will be a lot from your shoulders. I think you are right putting th ehouse on the market being a landlord is a nightmare....ask Ed!!!
Night sweats.....from a fellow sufferer...... you have my sympathies!!

    

Oh my gosh Bren

I am so so sorry about your mum and that I haven't been on sooner so I could send you my condolences

How's things going hun? Are you sleeping any better? Xx

  Thanks Shelley    I cant believe its been two months already  

   No im still struggling with the sleeping   if i get two hours unbroken sleep im lucky   
Its really getting me down now    i feel really shakey and on edge all the time atm   
Hopefully things will start to settle down soon   

Aww hun I'm sorry your not sleeping any better. Theres nowt worse than sleep deprivation. When I've had problems in the past I've used melatonin its a hormonal sleep remedy which helps you adjust your sleep routine and after about a week or so you should notice a difference

This link will explain better lol
