i know, i am really really really lucky
even in the current climate it's shot up in value since i bought it because of where it is. my dad is not so good at the emotional, touchy-feely stuff, i miss my mum for that, but when it comes to giving me an amazing start in life and practical, financial and career advice, he absolutely bloody rocks.

I couldn't even get six months car tax out of my mum, let alone a dirty great flat in kensington. She did give me £20 though so I love her really.

Mine are, and they're well young so I'll be a pensioner myself by the time they 'leave me their house'.

It's visa-versa for me, Dad wasn't any good at the emotional stuff (he wasn't bad at it, just wasn't good), and Ma' isn't any good at the finacials.
But Dad is the one who died.

I dread to say it, I don't think Dad or me would have survived for long if Ma' died first.
