.. seems a strange place to start a thread, but since I had my second baby in February I have been thinking I should really make a will. In the past I have had some invaluable advice from the EDF, so if anyone has any experience or thoughts on the subject, I would really appreciate it. Can anyone recommend somewhere to go to draw up the will? Cheers!

If you have a straightforward set up - ie, no previous marriages/one property etc etc, then there is a will kit you can get - from WHSmiths, and probably other places. This works well for uncomplicated 'estates'. It explains all the legal jargon, advice on guardians etc etc.
I can thoroughly recommend Camilla Judge www.willwritingandestateplanning.com she did ours recently and was very friendly, helpful and professional. She comes to your house to discuss the will and find out what you'd like included and then comes back a week later with it drawn up for you to sign - she does evening appointments too so very convenient.
We used Galzer Delmar - we did mirror wills. To be fair it took longer for is to talk tofamily about who would look after the chidlren than it did to talk to the parents... they also put us on a regiter so anyone can find where your will is held = saves then apin my dad went through wen his friend died and next of kin was his mum who had dementia!! He phoned about 40 solicitors trying to find the right one but they can't divulge if it their client for confidentiality reasons.... funnily enough, we joined the register ?20/person but think probably mone well spent

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
