Thanks for the feedback, especially the advice on googling 'how to build a balanced portfolio ' it led me to all sorts of useful sites which gave me the same info as an advisor but for free.I feel more confident now to make some informed decisions.

Has anyone had dealings with a financial advisor? Have they proved their worth? I've met with two, they charged between ?2800-3000 for advice and implementation of advice,then it was up to 1.8% Of the total funds each year to actively manage it.I was wondering if anyone has used one and found it beneficial.

We are happy to have a look at your decking and give a quote for remedial work. There are examples of our work on www.earthworksgardens.co.uk. Karen

If I'm doing a job for someone and there are materials involved I will ask for 25% upfront but they will have a contract stating terms of business and a receipt for the payment.

Hi all I am desperately looking for a qualified tv aerial specialist. Since switching to digital the picture on out tv is rubbish and think its due to aerial on roof being effected by wind and rain as that's when it's totally distorted. Any recommendations will be appreciated Many thanks in advance

A warning to other motorists.Late this afternoon I pulled up ouside my house in Lacon Road.I locked my van ,but left windows very slightly open.I went indoors to change out of my work clothes and came out ten minutes later to find window had beed forced down .They had stolen two pairs of sunglasses and a minidisc player.A strange thing though-they had also taken out a drill but had left it beside the van,not sure if it was because they saw it was security marked or they were disturbed. So to all motorists,wind-up windows and always put alarm on,even if you are only leaving vehicle for a few minutes

Im sure that was my dad you talked to,he wasn't a professional cyclist but he was a very keen one. He was a member of Catford Cycling Club and used to take part in time trials, most of the time he finished in the top three which was pretty good as he was the oldest member.
