Well that's true here, She commands and I look for an easy way to carry out thoseNot to sound sexist, but most women run the household, whether they have a career or not

Oh, you're going into the Carry on Films now are you.
I know I should slow down but I can't seem to follow my own advice thinking the sooner I get things done the sooner I can stop worrying about what has to be done if you know what I mean.
I'm still feeling very raw and emotional but just can't slow down till everything has been sorted out even though it's causing me problems, I'll get there. When Kelly phoned me today she said even though she doesn't want either of us to go in some ways she's glad her dad went first as she thinks I'll be able to cope better than he would have done if I'd gone first.
That's true of my parents as well. Not that Dad was clueless or anything, but I think my Mom was better able to cope

It's probably got some truth in the old saying that women are the stronger sex. I think it probably stems from them being the ones mainly responsible for having to bring up a family and all that entails.
I do know that once everything is sorted out this place will be a lot easier to keep clean and stay that way longer, John was so messy and untidy and I'm now finding out he was worse than I thought and the amount of stuff I've got to sort through is a nightmare.
I've just finished reading the review of that stand you did, that cake looked really yummy.@A Guy she has proper posh nosh our Joan you know.
@Joan That's good; I'm glad you're eating well, you can keep your fish and parsley sauce, but I'll take the jam sponge and custard any day. Mmmmmm.
That must be a weight lifted knowing that you finally have some closure regarding John's death although I'm guessing the funeral bill hasn't helped. Have you managed to sort all your finances out yet, or are you still working through them?
I hope you managed to get some sleep last night. Do you watch TV or anything before bed or do you read?
As for us, we enjoyed the cake; it was very soft and fluffy, it's probably one of the best ones I've made. It was the same again today when we had another piece. I'm using posh eggs with really orange yolks so the cake is more orange and the texture is fabulous. I also wanted to make it so I could try out one of my new cake stands.
Thanks Angie, things are starting to come together, I got a cheque from his over 50 plan which will help and I know talking to the Inland Revenue they'll be sending me one for about £50 which was to do with tax paid on his annuity. It might be the new year before I hear from that and find out if I still get anything from it, there's a chance I could get 50% or more from it.
I'm going to disappear now till tomorrow, start sorting out and get to bed, see how much sleep I get tonight.
See you all tomorrow, nighty night.
Thanks Bill, I'm trying.Take care Joan

So so, it's getting better some days, think I got about 3½ hours last night.Well, my dear, I do hope you slept well.
I'm glad some elements of money are rolling in for you too, this should help towards anything you have outstanding and then hopefully, when the bills are sorted you can have a better grasp on the finances. Not wonderful things to be sorting out, but once they are, they will be a load off your mind.
So what did you have for tea last night?
