Bunch of marriage related financial questions.
So I was in the bath (you didn't really need to know that but I thought I'd share) mulling over a few things since I couldn't find a rubber duck to play with and fart bubbles are just getting immature now when it occurred to me that in all the organising of our wedding, I hadn't actually considered any of the financial…

As the title says. I'm in my 'ahem' fifties and really wish I'd learned to drive in my twenties. I wasn't in the country then, nor was I in the county in my thirties either. I made one attempt when my ex OH demanded I learn so I could pick him up from the pub! I found the whole experience terrifying as ex OH would take me…

They don't pay anything or compensate me in any way for the intrusion - they simply expect it (one year they didn't even clean up after themselves and I found a…
