Old dog seeks new trick 14

[Sotto]

Hi OD - here are my thoughts below...I wasn't keen on the little headings, so I removed them and the scraps sentence..and tinkered with a couple of other bits...T :-)

Hi W

Thanks for letting me know about S15 being "signed off for a whole year now". I presume this means he's fine but they want to see him again in a year? That's great if so. Also, if you could let me know beforehand when he's due to go to physio, I would be grateful. And did they let you know if there's a nearer one than Addenbrookes?

Re last weekend: I'm happy you managed to take the boys away during their half term, but as I only get to spend a few days each month with them and this trip was partly on my time, I would prefer you to check with me if this kind of thing is likely to happen again. I hope they had a good time though.

This weekend, can you put them on the 16.20 from Charing Cross, not London Bridge please. For the return on Sunday, it depends on what type of ticket they have: Virgin or Great Northern. Remember the railcard won't be valid for these journies. If you get them a return from there to here, they can use the same ticket travelling through London but can't divert off route or exit at any other station. For any trips within London, another ticket must be bought.

What does S12 want to do on his birthday? Does he want friends over? If he would like us all to be together, I am willing to do that. I discussed the iPhone with S12 and said I will pay towards it along with contributions from my mum and brother so his portion will be signifcantly reduced. Feel free if you also want to contribute.

I haven't made much progress on the house yet, but yes we should get a couple of valuations from estate agents. As far as capital gains tax is concerned, as it isn't our main residence, it looks like we'll have to pay. How do you envisage handling the money after it sells? And have the tenants given a leaving date?

In terms of summer holiday dates - I have no preferences for dates as yet. Perhaps mid to late August? I'm glad your mum has offered to pay for them.
