Your line for this week is:
I’m going to tell you how I lost my inheritance.
It was quite simple really.
I slept through my alarm, missed the bus and was late for the appointment with the solicitor when The Will was read.
Uncle Joe had always hated tardiness, so it came as no surprise that if family members were not present, any bequest was automatically forfeit.
Cousin Jane told me later that my ‘share’ had apparently been his LEGO collection.
I was actually relieved as Uncle knew I hated it and had never liked me anyway.

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and have a terrible sweet tooth. Best friends are Hubby, our dog Maggie, Bro in NZ, MSM and MOH (and his dog).
I am also a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
Due to a nightmare of a house sale in 2014, 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat until April 2017. We made strong friendships both on and off the water, and enjoyed swan and duck families for neighbours.
Sadly times change and we were once again house hunting until September. We now reside in a small bungalow a short distance from the beach on the Lincolnshire coast.
Good one Di…..I could do without a lego collection as well….
I wanted Meccano, but all I got was lego, lego and more lego as a child.
My older brother had a meccano set. It was all metal. The new versions are all plastic. My boys had lego when we could afford it😁
