DiWil's bio
Moved to France from the UK in 2014, Planned that move years ago, settled well as had spent many Holidays Touring with our Caravan around France and Spain.
Music and Gardening are my favorite Hobbies but spend a fair amount on the PC also. Ancestry has taken my interest for a couple of years now since discovering my Husbands family History of British and French Origins. Dressmaking always have loved that. Like taking pictures but a tad average results.I love learning so love reading.
Our close family, our Two Cats..Saber and Girlze

Moving houseSure would with anybody feel flat at such a big task..When your use to doing things together it is very difficult. I rely on him and he relies on me and so thinking you have to cope alone must be a huge thought. Thing with us humans, we do pull something positive out of most struggles. Something funny might happen that give you a good memory or the worst can happen..I spilt a whole tin of emulsion once....that is one big memory I'd rather not have. Take a step back and see if your organised on the clearing and packing, and if you have a garden, decide if there are other things you need to take ..ViewDate:

Splitting the billNo can understand that feeling... over the fuel particularly, sometimes it is amazing how others do not think of all expenses. Years later we still talk about the time we had good friends stay with us in our holiday home in Spain. We had quite a long holiday and they were joining us just the last week of ours and then we would all fly back together. We hired the car and they never thought about a contribution for the expenses including the fuel which was really thoughtless, but we said nothing. Food wise all was done fairly though. Trouble is not only is it embarrassing to say to much but it does leave you slightly as you feel now. How much do they mean to you, these evenings out.....that is how I would make a decision on that basis and if you decide I want to enjoy my friends company again ... try and bring all to the conversation tactfully over time to solve this... so once again you can then enjoy your social events..ViewDate:

Moving houseThat is difficult for you for all the reasons you have stated. My Husband dearly wanted our move to France and I agreed. The last few weeks before we went were terrible for me but I just soldered on for his sake. When we arrived it was so busy doing all that is necessary that it took away a lot of the worries. It still took it's toll for a while, but all turned out for the best after a few months. So your concerns are worse for being on your own. Depends on how positive you can be and how much packing and organising you have to manage. There are even companies that will help you pack depending on your finances of course. We spent a lot of time travelling to the local refuse tip and the local charity shops thinning out things that were not really needed..That helped with the packing for sure. It takes some push when your under par and as for your job I would say think for now about the move more than the work load. You will be in a better place once you have settled in the new home, hopefully. No Chrystal Ball and no if Only's....Maybe a friend or a family member could help you also.ViewDate:

Executor and BeneficiaryI have little legal knowledge but I have been through a very bad situation with family a few years have passed now and it has only just been settled to the terms of the Will. My oldest Son was Executor and the main Beneficiary so was a difficult time for my Sister and myself as we were excluded from the Will and were granted the left overs...! You do need the Death Certificates for sure. Your both executors so you're both in charge of proceedings which would be conveyed to you both by the Solicitor involved. You do need professional assistance though as it can get very unpleasant and if you can't speak honestly to each other then there could be sparks flying I would think. Wish I had more knowledge but I do not. Being in a different Country than my family made it difficult ... -
