Damzel - Congratulations and welcome, hope you get over the shock soon!


Afternoon ladies!

Just received an information pack on ASDA child trust fund that I requested last week and there is a sheet of vouchers with it: £1 off Pampers nappies, £1 off pampers wipes, £1 off Colgate toothbrush etc.
I think its the same sheet of vouchers you get in the bounty pack. You also get a ASDA gift card worth £25 when your Childs account is opened.

och I hate the CTF scheme I tried my best read lots of info from the gov and on here and still didn't have a clue :rolleyes: we get the yearly statement and every year there is less in it
bubba's will just be shoved in the same place as Chris's and who knows by the time they get them there might be a tenner left!

Damzel - Congrats - wow that must have been a shock for you! At least the first 14 weeks are out the way now. Oh, it will go so quick now!

Feeling a bit sore, I just tripped up the stairs in work. Fell onto my hands but my back and hips suddenly feel all stiff. OH wasn't happy but it's not like it was my fault . He just worries too much!

Jillie - I feel a bit stuck on the shall we find out? question. I had always assumed OH wanted to find out so that we could plan stuff like names and outfits and nursery etc. But he threw me when he asked me if I wanted to find out! Got another 2 weeks til my scan.
I think we will find out - I told him there will be so much too take in anyway that we could allow ourselves a little sneak preview now

Searching - pick mine up while your there. I keep forgetting!
I must go this week in fact I'll go on way home, it's on the way!!

Big ((((hugs)))) to HypnoNu - as Sami said keep a record you never know when you might need it :grouphug:

They're an investment mountain, they're as safe as the things they're invested in... In Aimee's case she has a stakeholder account, and because the price of stocks and shares is going down, so is the value of her ctf... But it's a long term investment, the market will pick up again and it will gain in value...

I think this baby will do better, when I invest it's money, shares will be cheaper so it will get more for it's money!

there is an annual charge for the account but its not earned any interest to cover it... I think..
The interest on the accounts is/was poop compared to a standard bank's savings account so we've never paid anything extra into it either
