I hate

I feel your pain.
My sister in law has this morning announced she's contesting my fathers will.
And he's not even dead yet.

I have so many questions....

What's their partner/your sibling's take on it?

😂 what's your Dad's take on it?

I too have many questions.
There's one in every family and without wanting to bore you with the whole story, this is the last straw.
My brother is just an empty husk of the man I once knew, but he won't let this be glossed over. He has a copy of the will, and I wish I could be there when he explains to his wife its final clause relating to contest.
Thanks for listening, I feel a little better.

Dads take ? She won't be at his house for lunch on Christmas, and see final clause of said will.

Sorry to make light of it, it must actually be very sad and stressful.

That's true, but I appreciate you listening.

Ah. Shit man. Not the stuff you need.

When I read the first post I wondered whether dad was incapacitated or similar and whether this was the start of a very complicated battle. But it sounds like he’s all good and it’ll resolve, albeit with stress and heartache.

Tricky partners can be a real wedge in families. Hope you can all tread that fine line and manage to keep your brother close.

final clause relating to contest.

What’s the kicker?

Yep

What’s the kicker?

In the event that a beneficiary contests this Will, that party shall forfeit their share and the proceeds will be dispersed on targeted advertising for baby starfish costumes to their spouse's Facebook page.

I didnt realise you'd been given a copy.

Basically hugo7 has it figured.
Contest by beneficiary / their partner forfeits their share.

Thank you all for listening. Back to hating on other things.

My inability to keep the key bowl thing I use exclusively for keys.

All manner of shite ends up in it.

Oh Jesus... Don't. Although I do approve of a small amount of loose change, or more specifically quids, in there for trolley tokens.

Also buying something for a 'project', it hanging around for weeks and meanwhile being squirrelled away to somewhere 'safe' [read random box full of all this shite stashed in top of a wardrobe], and then not being able to find it once I actually get 2 hours to take said project.

That there seems to be a inordinate amount of Bounty's within any given murder? of Celebrations.

No one likes Bounty's . No one.

A paltry smattering of Maltesers though, suspicious.

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law like them. What have I married into?

I like bountys.

always make sure to take other celebrations out of the box first though, safe in the knowledge that a bounty of bountys will be left behind for me to eat at my leisure.

I stand corrected. Forward me your address and all the Bastard Bounty's are yours.

Bounties are decent…anti bounty people are basically frightened husks in human form.

Or people who don't like eating a solid slab of coconut flavoured sugar and glucose syrup. You might as well eat Tate and Lyle with a spoon.

It’s a box of celebrations not an amuse bouche from Noma

Everybody knows the fanciest "coconut" chocolate is Chocolarder's gorse flower chocolate.
