a4007035 - thanks for your reply. I know what you mean about a speculative punt and weighing up risks v potential rewards - I'm driving myself to distraction more than ever before doing it! I only have about 5k invested, so it's not like it's my pension or anything like that. The plan has always been to try and raise enough money to pay off my mortgage earlier (which currently has 15 years left on it). One minute I read an article which suggests a top up might be a good idea, the next I read something which suggests this could be the worst thing ever. I'll continue to monitor this board, do some reading and have a think about it. At best I think I'll hold, I'm definitely not selling yet. If I lose the lot I'll be really really cheesed off, but I knew that might be a possibility as soon as I made my first investment.
All talk of a £1 party seems like a lifetime ago!
