Advent calendars are 3 for 2 at Morrisons at the moment, so I'd buy three, one for me and one for MrsAnother Joe, and then just scoff the contents of the third one.0

£100k into my pension ( this would include previous years allowances)
£360k which would be inheritance tax into a high interest account , interest to be paid to me.
£150k me
£120k son 1
£120k son 2
50k each to my 2 brothers and 1 sister
Should I be alive 7 (or 3.5 on the sliding scale) years later I would take the £360k to below threshold for IHT. Whatever is left to go to my sons equally.0 -

It doesn't have to be a winning lottery ticket. Perhaps tomorrow morning you'll have a knock on the door, and Ernie will be standing there to say one of your premium bonds has come up.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
