As far as I'm aware it's illegal to pay someone to watch your child who is not ofsted registered? (i'm training to be a childminder)

Good luck with your hunt for information, I would be the same as you are now and would want what is rightfully mine

You're allowed to pay family members for childcare, you're not allowed to claim anything back off tax credits to pay them with.

I took offense at your statement re your mother and MIL watching your child, you acting as if it was no work at all, after all "they were home all day anyway". My husband and I watch our preschool grandson a couple days a week. One of us is always with him, playing, reading, giving meals and snacks, changing, bathing, interacting with him all day long. His mom really appreciates the break, as she has twins who are toddlers. Kids are lots of work for child carers, and I think you should have much more appreciation for those people who care for your child.

You may not like my statement about my mother but if the rolls where reveresed i wouldnt want paying to look after my own flesh and blood knowing it meant that both parents could go out to work to give gs a better standard of living. You say that you look after your gs a couple of days a week, do you get paid for doing this?

Whilst I am well aware of the time and effort it takes to look after a child, this was a passing comment and off topic not meant for discussion

A passing comment yes - but it does seem to show that you take childcare and parents for granted ....

Back again, a lot has seemed to have happened since I was posted and it sort of went off typic, anyway update.
After a few arguements etc, a letter from the solicitor who dealt with the probate my mother has now decided to give me the information that I wanted in the first place. Anyway now that I have the information, I know where things are etc. Seem most of the money is accounted for, a large amount went on a moped to help me to get to college/work which I forgot about so that is fine. So most is accounted for, bit concerned about the cash withdraw for "educational" purposes as I aint got a clue what these where.

Can confirm that £2.5k went into the house purchase 10 years ago, the only problem is now is wat would the £2.5k be worth today?

What was the house worth at that time? What did it sell for and what is it worth now?

house purchased for £57k in 2000
sold for £160k in 2006
New house purchased for £191k in 2006 (but i've never lived there)
worth estimated £200k now

first house had an attic conversion, new windows and roof during this time as well as paint etc, do you take these into account?

I'm playing at figures here, but if the original value was 57k and your investment was 4.4% of that, at sale time it was worth approx. £7,040, which has since been invested in another house (3.7%), and is now worth £7,400.

Unless you know how much was invested in house one, you're stuffed in working it out.

Again - as said a zillion times before, that is not a lot of money to fall out with the family over though, and I can't help but think once you've got £7k are you going to be happy???

I don't think it is a matter of getting the £xxx, it seems to me to be a case of establishing exactly what was paid & where it has since gone - more a matter of tidying up the accounting process.

I think it is reasonable that you look at getting your "share" of the house increased pro rata from 2000 to 2006 (later increase is insignificant anyway), which means £2500 is equal to £7020 approx.
