Thanks. So is there free school for 4 years above?

I will leave this for those in Scotland to answer....

I live in London/England so that the system i am familiar with . I think there are some slight differences . In England the answer would be YES, 3 - 4 can get free 15 hours nursery/school and from 4 years is yes to free primary school

Thanks. So is there free school for 4 years above?

Depending on the month and year your child is born, he/she might not be eligible for primary school until the child is between ages 4years 6months and 5years 6 months.

Children in Scotland start primary school later than those England but finish secondary earlier, so it ties up on both sides of the border.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. £10,000 invested in Tesla 6 months ago is worth more than £20,000 today. If we could see the future and take risks accordingly, we will all be millionaires literally printing money at home. grin

I avoid crypto like a plague.

This is my current watchlist. If I had a spare £35,000 minimum I don't need right now and I could afford to lose it all, I would invest £5000 in each of these companies and leave it for 5 years. £35,000 should more than double to £70,000 minimum in 5 years time.

bros, i am a novice too. When people were talking about making money on crypto and stocks, I just went on my Revolut and started buying shares from reputable companies like microsoft, apple in short, FAANG companies bit by bit. Also, the fact that I can buy stocks with as low as 5 pounds.
From there i moved to Freetrade which is a standard stocks and shares trading platform. I also started watching Sasha Yanshin on youtube who gives good insight to what he is personally doing. For example, I got to know about Lucid from him around Aug this year and bought 200 shares when it was $18, today Lucid is $51.I bought Tesla whenit was $450 and it's now $1156, i only have 4. I wishI had started years back.

As per crypto, I started on Revolut as well, and I was putting few coins in bitcoin and ethereum. Now I have moved to coinbase. I have some money in ethereum, Dogecoin and Shiba. With shiba, I could have become a millionaire if i had bit the bullet and put 2k in it around April. I only bought £60 worth which turned out to worth £1400 in Oct.

***with crypto, you should only put money you can afford to lose.


I think oga Lexus is the OG on this parole.
