Greatest time ever in yeā€™re lives make no mistake

Anyone making a regular investment for their kids college/life fund? Thereā€™s probably some specific products out there ?

Junior managed to ride his bike without stabilizers for the first time yesterday. Pro is that heā€™s now absolutely bolloxed going to bed every night. Con is that any interest in football or hurling has suddenly gone right out the window.

Cross training

Weā€™re planning on just putting the child benefit aside into 1 seperate account as if we never got it and by the time the little one is 18 there will be ā‚¬30K sitting there all going well. Should see through college anyway and a stand towards a wedding down the line.

Little one has started a little tradition while Iā€™m WFH. After her breakfast, she will go into sitting room and climb up on the armchair. Iā€™ll sit down with her and we will watch a small bit of telly while herself showers etc. upstairs. She wouldnā€™t get much more telly during the day and doesnā€™t have a lot of interest in it bar the songs , and I must say itā€™s the most relaxing part of the day for me, and Iā€™ll miss it when Iā€™m back at work. We just watched ā€˜Octonautsā€™ there.

Doing that ourselves; just had to dip into a couple of hundred off it to cover a few bills while herself was on unpaid maternity leave

Is rugrats on anymore? I used to love rugrats

My little one climbs up on my knee and taps away on the keyboard of the laptop for around 5 mins. Iā€™m off this week but working away on a college assignment as she potters around the place. Itā€™s lovely to share these moments I must say.

Yeah may have to do that ourselves. The missus is taking 4 months unpaid leave so we will be parsimonious (new word I learned yesterday) for the next while.

I havenā€™t seen that on at all mate.

Iā€™ve a spare keyboard that I let her tap away on, but she keeps climbing up and taking my wireless mouse. Gets fair cranky when I take it back off her though.

Same really, just wondering if anyone is in any fixed period product with a better return

Something like this is what youā€™re looking for by sounds of it

I thought your standard of posting had improved lately alright

Excellent use of a fine word. Reads better than ā€œmiserable, tight-fisted mane ba*tardsā€.

Thatā€™s it. How risky are these?
