    I just don't like the idea. I wouldn't change my name and what if I want to leave? Makes it more complicated. I feel like we are together because we want to be

    I'm still with my wife because neither of us want custody of the kids:eek::eek::eek:

    Good. That road is nightmare. I drive a lot for work and this is a twisty 60mph trunk with ppl parking their cars all at the base of Pen y Van so they can go for a walk. I was trying to drive down there before and was down to 20mph and a kid just opened the door and jumped out into the road! His parent were just chatting to each other. Its needed doing for years.

    Yes, I agree. That stretch of road can be a nightmare. When I go I always make sure I'm either early enough to get a space in the car park opposite the Arms or go by motorbike so we can get parked up easier because it takes up less space.

    I love it round there :D I love when the RAF are doing their manoeuvres below as you're going towards the top. There are some spectacular views if you catch it on a clear day :) Inevitably, as I'm going UP, the army guys are coming down so I have to try and stop myself looking like I'm about to keel over :rotfl::rotfl:

    Pen y van somehow got translated to me as "fanny big" so that's what we call it now :rotfl::rotfl:

    He uses his so no. I don't think couples should have to get married to use that though. 9 yrs we've been together, longer than quite a few of our friends marriages

    i agree living together should be enough,
    dd1 made it simple with names her oh has the same surname, so no change, in fact most people think they are married :p

    I've been thinking about you as I knew you were due to have your tooth out but couldn't remember the exact date. How did it go? Did you get something to help? I hope so.

    On a practical note and this may or may not matter to some people. If you don't want to get married for whatever reason, you should at least have joint wills if you're not and you'd like your OH to have some control should anything happen.
    Unmarried partners have practically no rights. I think this was highlighted on here recently with what happened to naebbriac's mother when her dear partner passed away.

    Just something to think about if you're in that position.

    Mrs Anon (same surname due to our marriage :cool:) and I haven't written wills yet - it is on the list of things to do that so far has never got done :o. With Little Anons to consider I suppose it would make sense - you just wonder if it is worth the cost or whether the template wills would be sufficient as straightforward arrangements so far as we can see.

    Indeed! :rotfl::rotfl: you are naughty.

    I'm fine thank you. Treatment is commencing as it should. DS2 is doing his bit to make me feel wanted, needed and grounded :D as always. He keeps life in perspective.......as in no matter what else is going on his routine comes first. I expect nothing less.

    His mittens arrived yesterday Squigs :j he's chuffed to bits with them :D I opened his bag earlier to look for a Spanish revision paper he couldn't find and I found six identical white helix rulers in there :eek: I asked him where he nicked them from and he said he was given one by his maths teacher because he couldn't find his. So I asked him where the rest came from and he said he kept seeing them lying on desks and wasn't sure if they were the one he had been given so when he sees one, he picks it up in case it's his :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

    He now knows there is more than one white helix ruler in the world and if he sees one its not his :o I should issue a public apology to any children that have been told off for losing their ruler in the last 2 weeks :o

    It's possible and cheap to do by yourself. About £20 for a kit from WH Smith. it's also possible to use online templates, just make sure they legally cover your circumstances. I have no doubt at all you have above and beyond the intelligence required to complete one ;)
    if people prefer a solicitor, it would cost about £200 ish (don't quote me on this, it's dependant on circumstances) for a basic double will.

    If you are legally married then you haven't much to worry about as long as you trust Mrs Anon to carry out your wishes and don't expect her to go shopping every day to replenish the stash empire you have built :p:p
