I was divorced in 2001. I had been working from home as a childminder through our marriage after having and bringing up our two children. I also worked to pay for my husband's re training as a college lecturer after he was medically retired on full pension at 42. At the time of our divorce (and with no home ownership proceeds to share on the divorce) he was receiving over £1000 per month in pension., now it is probably nearer £2000. The court for some strange reason known only to them!! awarded him this full pension and awarded me just a 2 years Teachers pension (he left Teaching shortly after!) amounting to £600 a year.I was told I could not appeal. I have no pension myself and am not in best of health and will only have a tiny pension when I retire. Someone said a new law has just come out this past few months stating that I could now re challenge this and be awarded half of his large pension as I was a mum working and looking after our children at home. They are now adults. Does anyone know any more info on this before I go to a solicitor? Many thanks.x

I have recently bought an Asus K55A laptop and skyped with it for the first time last night. After a few minutes the webcam picture just froze and it remained like that throughout the call.

I have been self employed for 20 years (childminder) and have a major operation needed which means I wont be able to work for at least 3 months. I have paid N.I. Class 2.....I can not afford not to have an income of some description (am seperated) does anyone know if I would be entitled to any benefits and how much? Many thanks for your help x

I have someone blocked on face book and she had me blocked as well. Now she has unblocked me..... does this mean she can see my posts? or is it that I can just see hers alone, as I still have her blocked? This is a particularly horrible person who is renowned for making trouble for people sadly, and I just want to be sure she can't see any of my posts.... Thanks for any help x

Hi. I have just taken out a Touring Caravan Insurance through Shield Insurance (who use Premium Credit in respect of being able to pay monthly. Premium Credit collect the monthly payments) I have received the paper work today from Premium Credit but, before I sign, I just wanted to know if anyone has used Premium Credit in the past and if they are ok?

Hi. I have been buying and selling in a small way on Ebay since 2007 (U.K.) I now want to try and sell more items due to a change in my work circumstances but would like to change my user name to something a little more professional than my "dogs names" lol... I don't want to open a new account as I have built up good feedback since 2007. Is there any way (and if so.. how) I can change my current name to something different? Many thanks for any help x

6 months ago through Fly- be I booked a flight from to Birmingham to Glasgow (my first flight in 12 years!!) after completion of the credit card details it came up that if I again entered my Barclay card credit card details I would receive a £14.95 refund to my card.oh but wait..... shock horror have just noticed after your booking..they get your details and then offer you... er nothing!!!!! do NOT fall for this scam in future as it is VERY hard if not impossible to stop it :and the £14.95 they just take every month from your credit card and you can NOT stop this (according to my Credit Card Company) until they agree to not take any more payments!! To date they have taken just over £100 off me on top of my flight to see relativies and the flight of £127 was I thought expensiveenough for ???? not sure really other than my stupidity for being over 45! !

My friend has a company and it has been doing very well. The other Director has behind her back managed somehow through the court to get the company's Bank account frozen and hence she can not pay her staff.... they have fallen out recently, he left the company and iow he says he will finish the company that she started, merely really out of spite! and right now he is winning!! Has anyone any advice on what she can do to stop this!! are there any support groups which could help her as right now she is at rock bottom. Thank you for any help xx

I booked a flight with Emirates a few nights ago to Australia (for my son's wedding) and paid with my Barclay card. For some reason Emirates have taken the amount twice as they stated the first payment never went through, which it now has. Barclaycard say it is now up to Emirates to refund me but so far they seem reluctant to do this. can any one advise me what to do as I have not flown in 20 years and am at my wits end. Thank you x

I am on my own and on a limited income and am really stressed!! many thanks for any help x

Has anyone any experience of the U.K auction site Madbid? Is it genuine? Many thanks x

For two years running now someone has won Dancing On Ice who have had previous skating and dancing backgrounds when all the other contestants haven't. Am not sure this is really fair.. Although Sam was excellent tonight, he was actually good on day 1 unlike all the others. Just think you are either a skater or a novice when you apply. If you can skate then you have a big advantage and should not apply to go on, if you can not skate then you should be on Dancing on Ice" x

Does anyone out there know if childminders (UK) have to pay council business rates as they are looking after people's children in their own homes or whether they pay domestic rates. Many thanks.

After the recent severe weather (U.K) my three substantial, potted palms are now very sick. They have very drooping leaves and the stem of one has gone soft. Is there any way of rescuing these plants? I did protect them through the bad weather but temperatures were so low that this was obviously not sufficient. Many thanks for any help x

I have decided to feed my two ponies on Haylage. One is 14hh poor doer and the other is a 15hh good doer. Can anyone give me any advice on the quantity I should be feeding them, per feed. I have scales so can weigh out the poundage, just need some guidelines. Many thanks.
