Thanks once again guys, it's brilliant that people are offering free advice to strangers.
Do you have any examples of good books I could study to learn the basics of trading shares? I had a look in waterstones today but there was so many to chose from.(lots with the cheesiest titles).
could you recommend any of the virtual trading websites? there seems to be quite a few.

Invest in silver on a site like bullionvault.com or goldmoney.com. I put 2k two weeks ago and have made over £100. Its fun and easy to do. They say at least 10% should be in precious metals so you should at least chuck 4.5k in. I would suggest doing more like 40% though as things are looking so good for silver with inflation kicking in.

Dont forget whilst all this is going on and you're planning not to have more than I think £35k in any one bank in case it goes down the pan!

Nope, it was £50K and has now been raised further so nothing for OP to worry about.
