Family (and will codicil)
Right. Sorry - this is a bit of a long-winded one. You need a little bit of history first so here goes Mum - 5 children (including me of course) married stepdad - 6 surviving children - about 27 years ago. 4 or 5 years ago stepdad had to have a lung removed for cancer and was in a hospital about 30 miles away from us.…

Dentist, doctor, or ignore it and hope it goes?
Hoping one of you knowledgeable people will offer some words of wisdom! I have a tooth with a crown. On the gum underneath, there is a very small white lump.

Hi folks. I have two apologies. 1. For using saying Phlem - sorry but there's no other word. 2. I know this isn't directly a money-saving issue but if I don't help to get rid of it then I don't get my sleep which means I may do something rash like buy a new car or buy my wife something she neither likes or wants for…
