I have sent off my forms for child benefit and had birth cert back so hopefully wont be long for that! and then trust fund afterwards. We will be putting the trust fund in the nationwide which is a savings trust fund account and thats where I have my DD1's. I know its each to their own but I didnt want to risk my childrens money in shares (and im gald I didnt with the year we have just had!!)

My brain still not working properly, thought it had to be a mistake!!!!

mithical · Feb 14, 2010 1:16PM

Ha ha, I only thought it might be because the first initial was c for child, not even sure what the initials stand for! xx
