    Our eldest son is off to Uni this autumn (fingers crossed) so we will be able to help him :) We are also going to try and put more cash into self select stocks and shares ISAs for our retirement. Other than that, if there is anything left over (!!!!), I'd love any suggestions!

    No suggestions as I only managed a whole 12 days (sort of) being MF before the sale went through on my house

    I think I would just be content knowing that I owned my house and not having to pay the banks anymore interest :)
