Has anyone here changed their name by deed poll?
Just looking for some advice please. I'd like to change my surname to my Mother's maiden name. I am divorced and do not wish to share my name with the ex's future wife. Neither do I want to revert to my own maiden name as I never really liked it! I have read online that it is a simple procedure. However, I've just looked…

Apologising
My mum expects me to apologise for something I said. Yet I meant it. She knows I meant it and I think cannot deal with me voicing an opinion. So if I apologise, it's only because she's told me I (in her view) was rude. Not because I think I was rude, I wasn't. How does it work in this case? Do I apologise to keep the peace…

Maternity Leave during Education breaks?
My apologies to anyone if this sounds like 'overplanning'. I work 42 weeks a year for a college, which means I get the summers off (paid over 12months), and we would like to try to have a child soon. Does anyone know, if maternity leave applies during the summer break, or does it 'carry over' into the autumn term? For…

Ocd
I wasn't sure which board to post this on but because of the success of the "Hoarding...not just on TV" thread I decided to put it on my favourite board. Has anybody else got experience of OCD personally or somebody else with it? I know we are told we all have varying degrees of severity, but I am wanting to discuss the…

Pocket Money for kids
I know this has probably been done to death but out of curiosity, how many of you give your children pocket money, what are their ages and how much. I am thinking about giving mine pocket money as dd had a paper round but lost it as paper went to once a week and round was reduced to one person. My husband was of the…

Busy stay at home parents, when do you find time to organise money stuff?
As the title says... What seems like way back when, I used to hop on the computer for a short time every morning to check my balance, do transfers, bill paying and the like. I let my "organisedness" slip for a while and whilst we're not in debt much now, I want to go back to how I was when I had the time to account for…

Mum tries to exclude me from my own children
Long story but I'll try to keep it fairly brief. I was never the favourite child when I was growing up, my sister was. I was constantly critisised, told off, smacked, and insulted, mainly by my mum. I grew up thinking I was a horrible, awful, evil person who no one would ever like. My mum and sister had a little clique and…

Making a will
Not sure if this was the best place to post, but was after as bit of advice re writing a will. I'm 21 and have a 2 year old son, and as disturbing as it is to think I will be leaving him any time soon I have to be realistic! I don't have the first clue about getting a will written up, the costs involved or whether or not I…

Making a will advice please?
My mum passed away last weekend and we were very surprised to find she had not made a will. Luckily there is nothing of great value (only rented property) and small amount of savings, so everything so far has been transferred to my dad without much hassle. Now I obviously want to try to encourage dad to make a will sooner…
