Separation / Pension / Engaged
Taken a while but just a few more weeks and I'll be moving. One thing that niggles me is could she still try to claim on the pension because we are/were ENGAGED even though we never married?

"fake" (other versions of) LEGO
My 6 year old LOVES Lego, and I find it infuriating when people buy "replica/compatible" sets for him as gifts. The likes of M.Y building bricks, the ELC version etc...

Giving a friend lifts to work, am I wrong for charging him?
I have a friend who I've known for around 8 years but I've only really been close to him in the last 3/4 years. Anyway, I went to Amsterdam with him in August and it was a lovely trip, but I ended up buying him things if they were perhaps easier to pay for on card, and when offering me the money I'd tell him not to worry…
