How would you share a mega-lottery win
No....I haven't had a mega-win - but I can always dream! I started to wonder - if other MSE-ers won a really big sum (I'm dreaming £mmmm on the Euromillions) - how would you share it with your family - or would you keep it all for yourself? Me - first thing would be to pay off the mortgages of DSs and DD, and those of my…

Ex won't sell our house
My ex partner refuses to sell the house which we lived in together or buy my half (joint names on the deeds and paid for together). I don't want to go the solicitor route yet because he'll take his anger out on our children by cutting them off. Just wanted to know if there is any way he could change the house into his sole…

Wedding suit
I did try to look for a clothing section in the forum, but couldn't find one... This is about my wedding, so hopefully it fits in here.

Sending small parcel/letter to USA
I found a thread on this issue but you could only post replies. We need to send a small parcel (could pass as a letter really, since it is just two passports) to the USA. Not in a hurry, needed in two weeks time, but it has to be a reliable service. I am totally confused with quotes and reviews... I read in one comparison…

'You look well' - invisible illness - how to respond when you feel ghastly?
This has really been getting to me recently (possibly because my symptoms are worse at present) How do those of you unlucky enough to have a chronic disabling illness which is 'invisible' respond when people tell you 'you look well'? Or when you are asked about a family member in a similar situation? I got quite cross with…

What is appropriate re friend staying?
I honestly don't know what might be regarded as "correct" and am canvassing views on this. I've moved to an area of the country where people like to come on holiday and I can see this is something that will lead, at times, to people I know inviting themselves here for a holiday. That's fine by me. Nice to see them etc etc.…
