Just had a phone call from a lady in her late 30's. Her mother has passed away and her father passed away some years ago. There is a will. The problem is she does not know where the money is but she knows the house is owned by her mother. The only help I can think of giving her is to offer to help to search the house for evidence of money. I will not feel comfortable looking through other people's cupboards but I will do it if she wants me to. Anybody got any other suggestions. When my father passed away I had his money recorded on a spread sheet and I knew exactly where it was. I just think there is a chance a Gransnetter has been in this situation.
I think your comment to gillybob I quote: "I find it very annoying that you have to watch money so much." was rude and uncalled for. As for anybody "winding you up" - well I think you'd know about that wouldn't you?
Oh Frank The thing is you don't have to watch money so much. You choose to and I stick by what I said earlier that you seem to have some kind of obsession with it.
Yes I remember the lady who wanted you kicked out of the house (who wouldn't?) but the fact is you own the house legally so she will just have to accept that and move on. Why would someone telephone you to tell you that this lady who has been making your life a misery for so long is in hospital? I find that weird. You should send her a get well soon card and write "I hope you will soon be fighting fit" in it...........
I am sure someone who is winding a lot of people up around here.
I did not say to this woman that I wanted to inherit her home which is substantial but not as valuable as mine. What annoyed my father was she wanted me out of the house and our dog. Another thing she said was she did not like dogs. If that was the case why did she befriend dad in the first place knowing there was a dog in the house and why did she allow me to go spending money on the house if she intended to get me kicked out. I did not bother to find out which hospital she is in so I can't send her a card.
I think the person is one of her friends. I have lost track on which ones are friends and which one's are relatives except for her immediate family. O'h and the phone is ringing again.
The call which you referred to was about PPI. I have had another one in between guaranteeing to save me money on my mortgage and offering me £50 if they could not. I took interest and then asked how are they going to save me money on my mortgage as I have not got one and asked them to send me the £50. The phone went down.
Frank I would love a new iphone 5 and £10 postage seems like quite a bargain. If you are not taking up the offer could you let me have the details please.
gillybob you said it - this is one huge wind-up - if you read any of HunterF's thread you will understand what I mean. To be honest why anyone even replies to any of his threads or comments is beyond me - he obviously leads a quiet life.
I could not agree more Dorset, gillybob et al - now he is telling us his phone is ringing [yawn] emoticon Is he getting off on this? (do not answer that question, or even hold that thought)
