The funeral was on Wednesday and it was very emotional but nice at the same time. There were lots of people there and we did have a good time despite the obvious sadness. In the cars on the way to the funeral we had Chas 'n' Dave playing as a tribute to Uncle Malcolm, which I think he would have really appreciated. However, all this shite concerning his mum's mishandled will and his sister's money-grabbing really cast a shadow over the whole day. She tried to get into the meetings with the solicitor but we managed to stop that although her daughter is obviously trying to use her position as Uncle Malcolm's executor to her advantage. I put a stop to that too and so did "the kids" by not allowing her to just have her way and control over the flow of money and by blackballing her as executor and getting the solicitor to have overall control over what goes on.

It's all made things so fucking complicated and has really really pissed me off. All the lies and back-stabbing, it's so petty and really cruel in my opinion. How can this woman openly steal from her flesh and blood like this?

Anyway, yesterday was Nickeee's birthday so we made a fuss of her and had a party at nana's. We had a load of Mexican food and decorated the dining room with balloons and confetti :) Tonight we're going out for a meal as a family.
