My partner and I have been together for 10 years. He has 2 adult children and I have no children.

He has bequeathed each child 45% of his estate, with the extra 10% going to me.

He has been reminding me that I need to make a will myself, but I don't know what to do. My only living relatives are siblings who are a decade older than me, so anything I bequeath to them may end up going to someone else anyway.

If I worry that if I give everything to my partner, I will be resentful since he is only giving me 10%. On the other hand, giving him a small percentage and the rest to charity seems petty and spiteful.

We each have our own properties and I have good relationships with his kids.

Just curious what others would do in my situation, and why.

Normally, I wear moisturiser with SPF plus sunscreen everyday. I have a professional facial this weekend. Do I show up completely barefaced, without any sunscreen? Or do I do my normal skincare routine, and expect them to wash everything off?

I have to walk around a half a mile to get there. The appointment is for around noon but I live in northern England where the sun's rays aren't very strong. UV level is expected to be medium.

I don't wear makeup, so that isn't an issue.

Looking for bus route for Saturday and for weekdays. I've already checked Google Maps and the First Bus app and website and I'm getting conflicting info.

My GP recently updated their systems and now test results are just showing up as normal/satisfactory/abnormal without the actual numbers. In the past, after a test I was always advised to check the results on the app myself.

Also, I am asthmatic and the results of my yearly asthma reviews have disappeared.

Additionally, everything before 2023 has disappeared.

What's going on? Does my surgery really want people contacting them with queries about results for every single blood test?

If I air dry, it takes ages for my hair to dry and it gets very frizzy.

But when I diffuse, regardless of the method, heat or speed, my hair goes straight. Because the air flow is diffuse, my hair gets blown all over and the cuticle is disrupted and I get a straight, frizzy mess.

At least if I blow dry my hair straight, I can get it to look sort of smooth for a short time.

Does anyone else have this issue. What do you do?

They're always down by my waist within a few hours of putting them on. I have to go braless with sleeveless or off the shoulder items which looks terrible. I wear a 28/30 FF/G.

I recently started using an Asus Zenbook Duo with Windows 11 and found that when using Zoom, I could not get the microphone to work but the speaker was working fine.

Then the laptop did a whole bunch of updates, including an update to Windows 11 25H2, and the situation switched, so I can use the mic with Zoom but no sound comes out of the speakers. The situation is the same with an external headset or the built-in speaker/mic.

I can't find an Exclusive mode in my Windows settings. I use Avast Premium antivirus and Webcam Shield is turned off. Zoom permissions are turned on in Windows settings, and I can't find any advanced sound options in Zoom settings.*

How can I fix this?

Especially in termd of quality of results, what can I expect from a stylist who rents a chair vs one who is employed (manager or senior stylist) by a salon?

If the independent stylist has more years of experience, is that offset by the fact that they don't have an employer who oversees their work or requires them to continually upgrade their skilld?

I'm in the UK.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of getting a cut and colour - in terms of quality of service and results - by someone who rents in a chair in a salon but otherwise operates independently, vs an employee in for a salon that has a hierarchical structure (junior stylists, senior stylists, etc)?

I'm in the UK, so UK qualification requirements apply.

A shampoo is advertised for dry hair and untreated hair. Does that mean it's not suitable for hair that's been dyed or chemically straightened or curled?
