A list of everything, placed with the Will, should make the dealing of my estate easy and smooth.
My Mum's life was in a briefcase, and as my name was added to her bank accounts, I knew who and what she was paying. I therefore had no problems sorting out her Estate, and I'd really like my family not to have hassle.

Re: What I've achieved today
Today I have:Made another tube train trip to Waterloo, via a different line, to check it's suitcase lugging friendly. Not quite...still about 8 steps to negotiate, but not as bad as other routes.
Collected my train tickets from the pre paid machines.
Had a quick diet coke.
Wandered around the station, for a nose, toilet break, then down to the Jubilee line.
To Stratford Westfield City, into Boots Opticians, waited an enormous amount of time to order a spare pair of reading spectacles. Once done...
Lunch in McDonalds, cheeseburger happy meal.
Looked at every item in Lakeland, but just bought a vacuum insect catcher.
Bought a few things in Waitrose.
Buses home. Unpacked, had a cuppa...and now I'm off to Morrisons!!!!
Volunteering for the council tomorrow between 11-3, so need to get my supplies in. Add half hour or so either side, journey time...equals a long day.

Re: What I've achieved today
Well Jazzi you have been a busy girl !!!
Hijacking your thread I know but ...
today I met a friend ... had a lovely bus ride to the start of our walk ... stopped for coffee and a cheese and bacon oatcake (well we were in Staffordshire
and my friend had never tasted oatcakes) by the side of the station for the miniture steam trains ... had a lovely walk along the disused railway track into Leek town centre ... bus back to Macclesfield then waved my friend off on the train to Manchester.When I got home I planned a train journey to Blackpool on Sunday for the airshow ... Red Arrows flying at 4pm ... and booked my tickets online for collection from the ticket machine at the station .... my daughter and granddaughter are coming along too
It's amazing the price difference in train fares .... Macclesfield to Blackpool return = £31.30 .... split ticketing price = £17.10 ..... CRAZY !!!!
