I’ve only recently found about the Barkley Marathon - watched the original documentary form 203 last night. Both brilliant and bizarre (the payments for entry etc!!) I listened to a British running podcast yesterday about the Tunnel race in the UK. Jesus….insane (see also the Spine race)...

Amazingly contributive post that Snickers boy!

You did the probate you mean? I paid a bit for the solicitors do that but I feel it' was worth it in these circumstances. Took a lot of the strain out. I've done the rest to be fair (closed accounts, pensions, bills etc - quite messy but the Gov Tell Us Once service is helpful for some of...

Yeah, kind of trustee (the solicitor, who's firm this is and was a friend of my mother's over the years) are listed as both executors and trustees. I've spoken to one of the solicitors dealing with this during my lunch. Bizarrely the reason I couldn't work the distribution out last night was...

Hi folks. Apols for dragging this back up from the depths! Was looking over this again this week. I asked a few Qs on a VW T-Roc forum which has helped. Essentially it might be best to go via something like Car Wow (tend to have slightly better deals than dealerships apparently). But it's...

@JASR ^^ Yeah, with the probate already done and all other bills tied up (bar one weird shares thing I have to complete) it's now just a case of paying out the Residuary Estate (essentially the house sale). It's *fairly straightforward until I get to this remaining amount and I can't see where...

Yeah, I feel I'm going to have to. I'm not 100% and there is residual monies I have no idea how these are to be divided out. It's the two 25% shares of the remainder of that second 50% which isn't clear as this leaves a fair sum. I'll get in touch with the solicitors just to be water tight on...

I now have the details of the beneficiaries. Aside from a few k leftover the estate is just the house sale now. The language on these things is a little 'ye olde legal speak, but for the most part it's quite straight forward. However, I'm a little unsure about some of the remaining amounts...

I'm sure I would've heard, but is there anything planned for the car park to the right of this development (think it's the Bridgewater Hall Car Park)? There was an 'star-chitect mooted for this plot many years ago, but I'd hazard a guess that's dead in the water.

I was probably over thinking some of this but there's a definite spectre hiding in the ranks from one or two family members. Probate is complete - these were through my mother's solicitors (she used over the past 40 years in the town she lived and knew the main guy personally). She was...

^^ Ahh, probate is now complete. I'm just wondering how messy the distribution of the will is and if it's something I need advice on or if it's relatively straightforward. Thanks.

Hi all (something else to add to the arse end of a long, miserable-ish winter). My mother passed away late last year and as executor of the will I've been dealing with correspondence with the solicitors. As of this week the probate has been completed at around the same time as her house was...

I'll add that the concern for my deposit isn't totally unwarranted. Before I rented rhis place it had been many, many years since I last rented. There were several times when I never saw my deposit back at the end of my tenancy (despite never missing rent, or leaving any damage to the property...

Thanks all. That makes sense. I'm just surprised I wasn't charged at the time for this amount i.e. the 20th to the end of the month was added into the first payment. I'd already phoned the agency last year on the back of anything owend (the aforementioned conversation with the account...

Hi all. I've just received an email from the accounts department who looks after the payments on my flat. It's states that I'm in arrears for underpayment (part of which was a recent monthly increase which I can see) but another is for £200 going back to when I first took the flat on four years...

Pollen is great. It wasn't that long ago that Manchester CC had 500 people living in it. A place that you visited rather than lived. What's the latest population? Can't be far off this: A further 40,000 people choosing to live in the city centre, increasing the population to 100,000 by 2026...

Watched to the end of the credits and the date suggested it was made a couple of years back so not sure if others have already seen. But if not, it's one of the those *films (it does have that Nat Geo documentary film feel to it) that deserves full attention.

Anyone watching this? "Chronicling the story that transfixed the world in 2018 – the daring rescue of 12 boys and their coach from deep inside a flooded cave in northern Thailand." Absolutely breathtaking and emotional. Some next level bravery went on there. Apart from the headlines around...

Noted. I suspect there's a host of picturesque small towns and villages that would surprise me. I do want to take my boy to Stratford Upon Avon this year (as we clock up our traverses). It's been sometime since I last went but had a lovely weekend there or two there. But I'm going way off...
