Shuggie_Murray7 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Cheers again for all the nice comments folks. So, tomorrow I'm going to take the documents along to have her registered. I'm also going to look into opening an account for her to save some money for her future - does anyone have a similar account for their wean(s)? Looking for something that'll be in her name but with my wife and I as a trustee, so that we can give her control of the account when she turns 18 or 21, that we can pay money into as and when and let it build up over her life. Aye. We opened one for Madi with the Airdrie Savings Bank, I don't understand why more people don't do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an ISA in my fiancé's name for this purpose, much better interest rate than kids accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 They don't do the Child Trust Fund anymore do they? We put one into a savings account for the wee man and set up a standing order to put money into his account every month. I read something online about a Junior ISA though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 No Riena, they were binned by gov just before I had Niamh. You can get junior ISA instead but you don't get the £250 from gov any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I used to work for the IR when the Child Trust Fund was introduced. Always remember the call I'd had from the woman who was adamant that her child was born at 00:01 on the 1st September 2002, but the hospital had recorded the official time as 23:58 on the 31st August 2002, meaning she wasn't eligible for one She was going absolutely tonto on the phone as if it was my fault, I was trying my hardest not to laugh. Had a look around and the Junior ISA seems like a decent idea. Nationwide do one for weans up to the age of 18. Will pop down and get a form today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Gaz, you're very organised, been meaning to open one for Niamh! It's always the same with your first though, we had Charlie's set up within a couple of weeks of him being born. We've still to do one for Harry and he will be one next month! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Craig Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi folks. My wife and I are expecting our first baby and we've finally started telling folks now. Lisa is 14 weeks already and all seems well so far. She's even got by the horrible nausea that seemed to hang over her and she's now starting to enjoy herself, even though her favourite clothes are "snug" now. ("Just means you'll need to buy me more..." ) Highlight so far was probably telling my folks, who are adamant that they are too young to be Grandparents. Either that or the 12 week scan. Just seeing the wee yin on the screen was unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 My wife and I can barely remember the conception of our wee one It was one of the drunkest nights ever and the two of us could barely remember that we'd actually had sex. Looking at the dates, it appears we did. And Karl junior will be here in a couple of months, can't wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
