You can pay off the Tesco fixed rate loan early without penalty.I was looking at tesco and they say there are no exit penalties on their fixed loans. Does anyone know if this is correct, and what it means exactly. Can I pay back a lump sum into the loan without interest penalties?
Any credit union beats any bank or other finance hands down. Start saving with them now. They are a lot better than banks etc. Service is better, interest rates are better and they are a lot nicer generally.
This is not necessarily true. See this thread and the many others about CUs, their lending practices and the oft propagated myth that they are necessarily/always the "best" lender.Any credit union beats any bank or other finance hands down.

I would be wary of hoping for 15k gifts - its pot luck I'm afraid and you will be surprised as I was at some gifts, good and bad!
It depends really...putting "cash gifts only" on invitations is the height of ignorance but you can let it be known through the grapevine (ie mothers!) that you'd prefer cash. Assuming you've about 150 going and you would hope to get 75*€150 = €11250 (€150 seems to be the standard cash gift nowadays)
Congratulations anyways!
Beware of depending on such "standards"!(€150 seems to be the standard cash gift nowadays)

I seriously doubt it.

Why? In my experience this seems to be the standard (per couple) cash gift at a wedding.
Very true, the money is better as the presents are always useless but again be careful of overspeculating on what you think you will recieve.Tbh money is much more useful than recieving stuff you'll never use. I just would be wary of a big loan against very speculative income.
my cousins wedding - they wanted cash gifts only, which i found very rude. a gift is the choice of the giver not the choice of the receiver.i didn't go to the wedding in the end and she got nothing off me. also, my aunts/uncles clubbed together approx 50e each or per couple. the bundle of cash looked better in the card.requesting money is mean and selfish in my opinion.
