 I had a email from the Solicitor.
She had looked through my late dad's bank statements and found no payment to my arsehole brother for the boiler and putting in the bathroom.
I hope he chokes on that extra money from my late dad's estate....
He had plenty of time to give those invoices to my dad while he was still alive.
I got in touch with my younger brother.He wasn't happy about it either.
He doesn't know what to say to his brother when he sees him next.
"Easy, say hello Arsehole!"
