    lol :D

    It fills some time while sitting on a long train journey (destination being a nice sunday lunch!)...

    Also, I'm a bit of an addict. I remember last September I planned to go on hiatus from contributing, after hitting an arbitrary 750 posts - I think I lasted about 6 days until I was saw some stuff posted that was just plain wrong and felt I should wade back in like a white knight.

    Since then my 'thanked in x posts' has gone up to almost 72% of the near thousand posts, so I guess they help somebody. In all honesty I think I should probably cut back again though and focus on the real world for a bit - so will likely take a bit of a break for the summer before coming back for the next thousand :cool:
    :beer:
  • ...this is the real world, isn't it....?

    Keep 'em coming bowlhead!
  • Thank you for your very detailed reply bowlhead, I apologise for my lack of detailed info in between 3 kids, full time job, house to run husband to nag and cat to chase. I try to keep ontop of finances but quite often lose track! Your pretty much on the money as far as the break down goes. The £1000 lump sums where paid in both mid 2010. I have also taken into account the ctf 250 within the overall payments in. The second ctf was actually opened late than I thought in early January 2010.

    The reason for my enquiry is that I need to open a savings for my third child and I'm wondering if I should go down the a similar route of the junior isa stakeholder form?!
