...When we first started looking at buying our own home,6 years ago having rented for a year and felt that we were throwing money down the drain, we asked around for the name of a financial advisor, feeling that one referred by word of mouth must be a good one. How wrong we were!
The man duly came and set out his stall and was very nice and very helpful showing us all our options, we were very young and inexperienced regarding mortgages. It is a potential mine field if you don't know what you are doing!
He found us what appeared to be a great mortage that gave us a discount for 3 years, after which we could change it either to another discount plan with the same lender or to another building socitey with no penalty charge incurred....so we thought then anyway!

Advantages: Great explanations Disadvantages: Site design is somewhat lacking
...I stumbled across financial-spread-betting.com while searching on google on the subject. I am really a complete newbie where financial products are concerned and the site was a great help in giving me a first overview of the subject.
The site explains financial spread betting in detail including contact details of each of the main spread betting firms and the advantages and disadvantages of spread betting complemented by some history of the firms, as well as some feedback on binary bets (didn't really understand how these work though) and a section on gambling with a story of how an individual managed to ruin himself gambling lmao

...Marks and Spencer provide a variety of Financial Services and they are a helpful and efficient service provider as well. I would recommend them as a good, reliable company to go to for financial help and you will see that M&S are much more than a good place to buy clothes and food.
M&S can provide you with an account card which you can use in any M&S store to pay for goods or for a variety of services such as flower delivery. This card has a low APR and you can get a credit limit of several thousand pounds should you wish to. This card is useful for regular shoppers at M&S or for people buying high value items such as furniture. Card holders also get the M&S catalogue for free and other shopping perks. You receive monthly statements so you can keep track of what you have spent.
M&S also offer a Personal Reserve account. You...

For those of you who have read other novels by Isabel Allende, 'The Infinite Plan' is going to be something of a surprise. Allende normally favours tales about young women of south American extraction. 'The Infinite plan' is about a white man growing up... more

I'm absolutely head over heels with the Apple iPhone 3G. I've become far too proud and a bit too obsessed, but that's because it really is an excellent phone. For what it offers personally, I am happy to forgo the few traditional phone features that more
