    Yes its something Ive been thinking about a lot Pepe, that and writing a will....more money! For now it will be nice to pound down that last debt, put a bit by and be able to do some nice things with B and have a few weekends away without blowing the budget completely....
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    Will writing IS important Sally, however you dont need to be spending a lot on it!
    You haven't got huge assets or loads of Kids. The main thing that you need to have down in writing is future care of Bea should the worst happen to you.
    Also...make sure that XOH has Life Assurance for the benefit of you both as well.........perhaps you should arrange it for him:p
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Martin has a link to a free will service.......I can't remember where on the site it is, but In My Dreams has used it and it all looks pretty good and easy.
