When my grandmother died I was the executor (of her estate, not for her death)
simple estate so I did it myself. My sister moaned that I had taken the costs of the funeral out of the estate before dividing the money between us!

So your sister expected you to pay for the funeral?

Yep. I think this was so the fat cunt would have more money to spend on pies & doughnuts

It's awful the way people become so consumed with money
My mum asked us which of her diamond rings we wanted her to leave in her will and I chose the little eternity ring and the engraved wedding ring because they were the prettiest and they meant the eternity ring meant the most. My sister chose the other two because they had the biggest diamonds on them. When my mum sold one of the diamonds a few years ago my sister suggested the will be rearranged to make it 'fair' again.

That's awful. I gave my sister all of the jewellery & still split the cash equally regardless.
Then again, I didn't have much use for a 96 year old's ring. Badum tish.

she's got her own massive diamond now
she went on about the clarity for quite a while, just to make sure I knew it was really good.

I only want a really little diamond, I think the big ones are ugly, but I know she's going to think it's because Wiggy can't afford a bigger one and will be smug about it. Grrr.
