griff Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 my nan died, left a will, my uncle demanded my mum sell her house quickly as he needed the money, he turned up with a van from the IOW to collect the things he wanted, mum asked him to drop a chair off to my great aunt...apparently he couldn't possibly, fast forward 2 years he was going round telling everyone my mum sold the house to cheaply..... she was happy to wait to sell the house to my dads brother for a fair price.... he was desperate for the money to do up his house in spain...the one he moved to and didn't tell my mum he had left the country and she had to be told by the person who had bought his house! We don't have anything to do with her brothers at all, my dads mum didn't have a lot to leave but i was disgusted with his family... i have never met such a bunch of tramps in my life, my dads sister told the chap who runs the almhouses he could have the white goods as when you move in there are white goods there, so there was a fridge, freezer washer, microwave and i asked that they leave the stereo i had bought for my nan, the fella offered to buy the lot but as nan was so happy there and he had been so good to her we said he could have them, next thing one brother takes the fridge...as he needed a new one, another took the microwave and another the stereo.... we had paid towards the fridge and freezer, we had bought the microwave for my nan and it wasn't a very expensive one £30 job and the stereo i bought yet they felt able to help themselves...disgusting taking stuff off a charity and i can't believe that somebody would be so tight as to take a £30 microwave from someone in need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah my dad showed his true colours when my grandad died. As my grandparents had brought me up after the death of my mother when I had just turned 5 they left the bulk of their estate to me. My dad wasn't forgotten - he got a very decent lump sum. Not to mention all the money he'd finagled out of them over the years yet he was black affronted that he didn't get EVERYTHING! He'd never stumped up anything for me leaving my grandparents to fund my upbringing but wouldn't let them adopt me officially (to give me security) because he claimed a tax allowance for me. On paper my dad is a millionaire thanks to property dealing and has been for a long time. He retired at 50. I remember my friend saying to me "your ears must have been burning last night" When I asked why my dad had apparently been regaling the pub with how I had stolen his inheritance. Finally one of the guys told him to shut his mouth and remember that it was his own daughter he was slagging off and didn't he feel anything over the fact that he'd just lost his father. I once told him that he would be a lonely uncared for old man and that's come true. He has been unwell for the last several years and none of us have forgiven him enough for his nasty bullying ways and, in the case of my brothers, the physical batterings they took off him, so he lives alone in a big house with just his money for company - much good it has done him. He has left his estate to be divided amongst my 6 brothers and sisters but I am not included. He's thinks that little fact will coming as a shock to me after his death but both my sister and brother who are his executors told me this years ago so that I was forewarned. I just laughed, he can stick his money where the sun don't shine. I am off to the dentist - again - as the filling I got just before Christmas fell out 7 days later. I hope they make a better job of it this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) i am very very lucky that my mum and dad don't force me to have anything to do with my relatives, haven't since i was about 10, i got to pick who i wanted to bother with so my family consists of mum and dad, brother, 2 dogs and a cat, 1 aunty, a great aunt and that is it...not a lot when my dad is one of 7 kids and my mum has 2 brothers, i have at least 15 cousins i have never met or spoken to, i am a stark contrast to my 2 cousins who were snubbed by my dads family when he left his wife..... they were desperate to be in touch with the family and be invited to family events... they were late teens too...very odd but i guess it wouldn't do if we were all the same Yantan, i am glad your family have told you what your dad has done so he doesn't get to have his last laugh...shame you couldn't find a way of letting him know you know without dropping your family in it. Good luck at the dentist, will they fix it for free?? i think they should Edited January 13, 2015 by griff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hope you get some luck today Alicia My tooth had actually split in two and couldn't be saved so it's been extracted I already had the one beside it removed due to an abscess problem so have a HUGE gap now at the back between my wisdom tooth and the rest of my bottom teeth. There was infection showing on today's extracted tooth which meant that the abscess hadn't been totally eradicated. Hopefully now that will be the end of that. The dentist told me to see how I go on with managing with virtually no molars to chew up against the top ones as the gum has to heal anyway, which will take months, before we consider ways to plug the gap. I'm hungry and want a cuppa but it's too soon and as my mouth is still numb it's likely I'll chew on my tongue or cheek. I think I might make mac and cheese for my tea tonight as that will be nice and soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrackenMc Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Nothing quite like a death in the family to bring out the very worst in people. When my Mum died she hadn't seen my brother in over 20 years but guess who phoned me after the funeral. Not for it, but after it. He was working on the day!!! There was very little money left from the sale of the family home and since I was on the building society book I paid all bills and dispersed what was left to where my Mum would have wanted it to go. I made sure my cousin, who had been better than a son to my Mum got something to help with a holiday to NZ. I gave my brother the large half of what was left and didn't contact him again. He died not that much later and I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he ended up wherever my Dad was as he would have given him such a roasting over his awful treatment of my Mum. I did hear later that his wife wanted to know what I had done with the money, but there was nothing that I didn't share in my brother's favour. What I gave to my cousin I took from my share. Reminds me that I need to make a better will but wonder if it is really worth it when you read of some of the awful things that happen even when there is a will.

Yantan Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I forgot to tell you that Archie was a norty boy last night. I couldn't sleep so got up at 2am to make a cuppa and decided to have a ham sandwich both of which I took back to bed. I had eaten half the sandwich when I realised that I needed a wee so left the remaining sandwich on a plate on my bed. Archie was asleep downstairs on his sofa. By the time I came back from the loo there he was standing on my bed eating my bloomin' sandwich!! Git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Jazz, sorry for your loss but glad she is free from suffering i know i shouldn't laugh Yantan but that was funny, perhaps archie fancied a midnight feast i don't have a will, i don't own anything and have no money and my mum and dad know i don't want a funeral just creating with the cheapest coffin known to man, tried to donate my body to medical science but i can apparently only die on certain days and need to pay transport costs to london (the 1 hospital who would accept me is in london) i never have any money alive how on earth will i have any when i am gone?
