Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

when my mother was alive, i occasionally threatened Beloved with having her come to live with us, but decided she would quickly end up on a premeditated murder charge
in fact, both my parents died at home and were fortunate to live in a road where (nearly) everyone knew each other, looked out for each other and regularly socialised together .... i guess that's the advantage of being part of and living in a relatively poor and non-socially-mobile neighbourhood

The point is if mother had of come and have helped out her overheads would have been lost and you'd have received a contribution to the household thus having maybe slightly more time and money.

as it's quite quiet .....
my mother was a very independent woman and steadfastly refused much if any help until the very end (at 91)
my father always wanted to die at home (89) - he told my mother on many occasions that that was why he had bought the house - and bless my mother's cotton socks, she shouldered the task of looking after him for the several years after he'd become rather daffy

Paul Johnson's presentation - Summary
And here are the key quotes from the opening presentation by Paul Johnson, the IFS director, summarising the main points from the IFS’s analysis.
Johnson said future spending cuts would be
“on a colossal scale” under the government’s plans.
There is no spending dividend on the horizon. Far from it. There are huge cuts to come.
How do we get to this sunlit upland in which we have a budget surplus? Spending cuts on a colossal scale is how,
taking total government spending to its lowest level as a proportion of national income since before the last war.
He said government’s plans implied the need for cuts that would change the role of the state
“beyond recognition”.

ah, the silly WFA
now if there was ever one allowance that should be taxable, then that's it and surely easy enough to do by HMRC

Jesus, Manuel!
Genetically, you have another 20 years, unless somebody does something about it.
Mind the only home which would probably take you is the Dog's home.
