Can't believe I've been away for so long. But at least my log-in details are still live. I stopped posting at the beginning of December - I was away for months, and since then I've been trekking up and down the country; all of that absence was about dealing with my mother's death. I even stopped my blogs!
Since then, however, I've been getting my feet under the table at home again, and I find myself drafting blog posts, and wishing I was back in an actual prepping forum. So here I am
Hope all's well here! It's more than ever relevant, that's for sure ...

Hi Deeps - yep, you're right, I've just been tootling about the thread on "any preppers in London" that Lil started. Very interesting - I lived there for a while, and on my journeys up and down the country re probate, I've had to pass through each time. Plus I'll be up near Clapham for 10 days soon while catsitting
Welcome back .Sorry about your mum.I understand all the to and fro,as my mum lost her ( third!) Husband in January,and like you,its taken a bit of sorting.Hope it all settles down soon.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Hi both - thank you jansman, appreciated. What's really struck me about all that is that its when the last partner dies, thats when the work gets full-on. To be frank, when my dad died in 2006, there was hardly anything, a bit of furniture re-arranged, clearing a bit of the garage, and that was that. Now, with them *both* gone, it's about the dispersal of the household and eventually the sale of the house. That won't be till late next year for complicated family reasons. And for the same complicated reasons, its me thats been getting to grips with things: the family pictures, the family documents, the probate, and most of the first stage decluttering - charity shops and the tip, that sort of thing.

I can understand that totally.
