    I completely understand that you are worried and upset about what may happen but I think it is important to remember that any assets do belong to your FIL and it is up to him what he does with them. Your Husband doesn't have any rights over the assets until and unless his father gives them to him in his will. And even if FIL did that, MIL , as his legal wife, could contest the will if she has not been properly provided for. Even if MIL dies first, FIL could decide to leave everything to Battersea Dogs Home if he felt like it and its more than likely that your Husband couldn't argue against it. Unless your FIL is extremely wealthy I would try to stop worrying about it all and just try to enjoy whatever time your FIL has left.

    I don't know anything about your personal circumstances or relationships and it may well be that promises have been made re money and assets so I don't want to sound judgemental. However, in general (and I'm not suggesting that this applies to you) , I do find it all a bit unpleasant when adult children assume that parents have an obligation to leave them anything at all. I've met too many elderly people who are just about scared to spend any money on themselves because their adult children expect an 'inheritance' !

    I fully intend to spend my hard earned assets on enjoying my old age with my Husband. If anything is left when I kick the old bucket, the family are welcome to it - but none of them know what I've got or what my Will states about who gets what.

    I agree while they are living and breathing it is nobodies business what they do with their money, how they spend it or on who. And if when they pass they have the right to leave it to who they please.

    My SIL always goes on about what her parents spend on her brothers family, says its her inheritance they are spending and I hate it.

    Just got my apg from tonight's delivery :)

    Pleased with myself as used previous apg's to pay. So was about £42 and used just over £34 in apg's and got £4.96 back in apg :T.

    Only one item made apg :

    5 x Birds Eye Crispy Chicken (2 per pack - 170g) £8.40 £5.00

    This was against Sainsbury's so might be useful as a filler for someone. :)
    Smile :) and hopefully the world will smile back

  • I made £3 out of the trolleys tonight peeps- what's wrong with people?

    I went to my local Tesco about 2 weeks ago, used a trolly, unloaded it on to the belt and walked through to pack, completely forgetting that I had a trolley!!!!

    I packed and walked about 10 yards, remembered and went back for my trolley, which had already disappeared in that short time:(

    I was really annoyed about my £1, couldn't believe that somebody had taken it that quick!!!!:(
