With Ofgem's announcement that the Energy Price Cap will drop, the Energy board was abuzz, but even that didn't detract from this week's many other MSE Forum highlights.

Money Moral Dilemma

Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.

Should I give some of the money I received in my stepfather's will to my mother?

My stepfather's will named his children and stepchildren, including myself, as beneficiaries of his estate, bypassing my mother, who thought that each of their wills had been written so that their estates passed to the surviving spouse. Following my stepfather's passing, I'm now in line to receive a large sum of money. Should I give some to my mother, given what she thought they'd agreed on?

You can find out what our MSE Forumites think and add your own two cents on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Heed the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every Money Moral Dilemma.

Got a Money Moral Dilemma of your own? Email us at MMD@moneysavingexpert.com and it could be featured.

Latest comping wins

One of the busiest parts of the forum, the Competitions Time board is where compers find and share opportunities to win prizes. Recently, redfox5 won this Formula Flawless skincare set from Cosmo magazine. They said, "I normally just grab the cheapest skincare stuff from Aldi so I am very pleased with this! Valued it at about £144!".
