    Evening All,

    I've been really busy recently so not had much chance to post or go shopping.

    I quite fancy the weetabix as my kids go through loads of this so will give it a try on my way home from work.

    There's a 'glitchy' way to get more than the allowable number of accounts from above, anyone interested in finding out how then send me a PM and I'll do my best to reply.

    In other news, after buying the thing at Christmas I've finally got my Lay-Z-Spa set up in my garden, quite enjoyable to sit there relaxing whilst drinking a free carling. :beer:

    Cheers,
    Sad_Dad

    I much prefer Happy_Dad:)

    Does anyone know why Windows 10 will only install to 99% ?
    I have been trying for the last 3 days and it keeps doing the same thing.
    This is from a HP Windows 7 Laptop. Have tried Googling it and seems like other people have had the same problem, but not tech savvy enough to understand what they are saying.

    I can't help you sorry as I've got a asus but I was on Windows 7 until last week, all seemed to go ok for me. I hope someone can help you out though :)



    Off for quick shower before CBB :p

    27 years married and only a tiny bottle prosecco :rotfl:

    Wow.......I've just checked and the gift for 27 years is a sculpture.

    So I thought a miniature wedding sculpture would be appropriate for someone Tiny:)

    To me it sounds like a hell of a lot of work to set up:eek:
    I know that many people prefer their money to be very safe but the dividend return on a decent share portfolio would easily pay 5 x that.
    I know energy and alcohol are 2 of the most stable and motley crew also recommend Unilever as people always need to stay clean.
    Shares are a slight gamble but if you are happy to put in a few hours reading up they are more profitable and quite fun. Obviously have a good spread of companies. Even with the brexit vote as long as we had kept away from banking and aviation we made a profit.
    I suppose that it you have the aptitude for setting up these bank accounts they probably run themselves in the end but do you have to keep changing when the fixed term is up?

    I know mse'ers love their bank accounts but just a different view.

    V x
    I think it depends on what people want, and also what interests you. The bank accounts are guaranteed, and people would know what the return would be, for say 12 months. Shares are mostly considered to be a longer term investment, and due to the price fluctuation, can make you nervous. I speak from experience, having seen the share price of something I hold, drop from £5 per share to £4....but you have to ride it out....the divi is a sweetner.
    Ideally it is good to have a spread of.... both cash and shares....funds permitting of course.
