On inheritance, I haven't got a clue what provision the parents and in-laws have made, would rather they live long and spend it on themselves.
In practical terms, the olds are aged 69-74; my generation are aged 39-48 and the little ones are 5-22. I suspect the best way would be to miss our lot out and pass any inheritance to the little ones.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

That's very similar to our profile silver. Olds 67-74, my generation 41-50, youngsters, one in tummy, oldest 20. I've told my parents and DH has told his mum to get on with life and that its too short to worry about leaving stuff for us. Fortunately our siblings feel the same.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

I can't begin to tell you how much that annoys me. We have a digisender so that we can watch TV in bed. But when I'm having an extra hour in bed and he's cleaning his teeth, we get interference because the two are about 2ft apart, albeit with a studwork wall in between. Thankfully my toothbrush is not bluetooth.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

time for a compare and contrast on the generation gaps within families.
my grandparents (all gone now) would now be 98; parents and their siblings 59-67; my generation 32-34; erm...no kids!0 -
