Thanks for the input everyone!
Regardng the asset split, does this go down to everything,  eg CD's my wife has loads, which I have no interest, can I just say have them all?
Thanks!

You're over thinking this, the courts are interested in broadly similar assets, not belongings. 

Is it a collection of CDs signed by the surviving members of queen? Potential asset.

Generic collection of 200 cds - value £nil.

Normally you only declare items that are worth £500 or more individually, although if you had something which was worth a lot because it was a complete collection but much less if the collection were to be broken up and sold individually) you could argue it should be counted as a collection. But you and she can agree whatever you want. Often an order will just say that home contents will be divided by agreement, or if one person is moving out and the other staying in the family home, that they will remain the property of the person staying with the exception of a list of items to be removed by the other.

Ideally, divvy up the home contents by agreement and then your order can just say you each keep the things in your respective possession.
