Everyone then went out.
Hubby and younger son went to do the weekly food shop and next door neighbours.

I meanwhile had some serious housework to do.
Coffee machine goes on.
Took off the throws off the settee, and gave the throws a good shake outside.
Quick coffee...
Tidied up the kitchen and Dining room.
Washing machine went on twice.
I was ready to put the washing out when it decided to rain!
Just got Henry out when hubby came back from the shopping! 
Hubby puts the shopping away, I get on with the hoovering with Henry.
Nice easy lunch afterwards.
Now to check on Sexy Beast.
Checks the tyres pressures.

Looking well nice.
Back home.

I had a break from writing my blog posts.
We had a look at the last 2 years bank statements of my late Father-in-law.
To find out where the money had gone?
We found some questionable transactions....
1:Three British Gas Bill Paid for..(He was on a meter for his gas and electric)
2: When he received his annual Pension last April 2021, why was £450 of it transferred out and to whom?
3: £113 he paid to NCC Park Smarter, Sutton-in- Ash.
Parking fine
 When he don't drive? 
Pages of pages of things he paid for which doesn't add up...
