This has absolutely nothing to do with entitlement. As I was very close to my father I just wanted to know if the few pound I got was from him. All it takes is 'yes' or 'No'.

Elderly dad passed away five years ago, no will made because mother didn't believe in making a will. She told me that he only had a small sum left in his account which I presume went to her. I have never had a good relationship with my mam but was very close to my dad who was very generous to...

Our hall is long and narrow and also very dark in winter even though I have a lovely red carpet on the stairs. The only piece of furniture in it is a radiator cabinet which I had custom made but the hallway still looks very bland. I am thinking of getting a very large mirror (6' x 3') for over...
