Re: How to split inheritance?

Its pointless speculating about what to do - the Will will state what to do. The only way it can be changed is to do a Deed of Variation and you will have to agree this if the amount you are going to get is less (or more) than what the will says. If the money goes to you both (not your children) you...

Re: Do we need a bath in our house ?!

many thanks for all your replies - ask my children ! Wow - that would set off a discussion ! But I do remember my son-in-law hating to admit he had tried a shower with his baby when he was 6 months or so and being horrified as he was so slippery they nearly had an accident ! Hence asking the question.

Re: House Renovation - any advice / recommendations?

NEVER EVER USE A ALL-IN-ONE COMPANY - they cut corners in order to make a profit right from the start, and as we have exact experience (more later when I will name them). We HAD to approve a design before they would do building regs and engineers drawings, and now the engineers insist on beams every...
