Ive come across an interesting website Id like to share with you. It is loan-market.co.uk and it offers free loan advertising. You just simply post your offer or request and then you are contacted by private investors with their offers. Thus you can choose the most suitable conditions for you, you may also get great financial tips. It is wort trying. I hope this will help you :-)

I want to change a largish amount of Euros (currently in a euro account at my bank) to sterling.
I have spoken to Currency Solutions which I found on the net. They say they are FSA registered and seem to offer a good rate. How safe will it be to send my money to them? Is there anyone better to do the trade with?

An owner of an investment property makes a gift of half of the property to two family members before selling it. Will the CG on the original cost of the
property to the final sale price be shared equally between the three? Is the valuation of the property at the time of making the gift of any relevance other
than for stamp duty?

Could anyone please enlighten me on these questions:

worth more than 4 times the annual exempt amount?
Would I still be taxed if my actual gains is less than
the exempt amount?
2. Do I have to report gifts received anywhere in my tax return?
For example, if my dad gave me £10,000 do I have to
declare it (and where)?

We were chatting over lunch about these rare occasions when you end up
with a £90m jackpot because it's rolled over half a dozen times or
so. Assume for the sake of argument that the ticket cost is still
£1.50 and there's no Mickey Mouse raffle.
The odds are something like 1 in 76 million?
So, hypothetically, why did no-one ever borrow £114 million and buy
every single combination of numbers?

My mrs left a job in 1978 with a "frozen" pension.
It was due to be taken in Aug 2010 when she was 60.
They have offered her:
1. A pension of 1100 per year, or
2. 5000 + a pension of 760 per year
We think (2) is much better than (1), but would prefer to take a
