For the first time in my life I find myself in the situation where I have a few k per month in disposable income.

I've never invested in products other than premium bonds and ISAs.

I know the basics like pay off high interest debts first, but i'm not able to pay off mortgage due to fixed rate / term etc for the next 7 years.

Are there any good forums or online resources to learn more about the ways to invest money ?

TBH if you have a few £K every month spare, you might be better off just putting most of it in a saving account and wait another 7 years to pay your mortgage off. Or pay it off before and pay the redemption fee (probably less than the interest you'll be paying on your mortgage).

Inversting in stocks and share can have good results, but you can also lose everything you put in.

First priority should always be paying off the mortgage early. best thing I did.

Blue chip shares, more secure shares and often a good divi as well.

Much less risky to save it. Very disappointing if it all goes TU with your investments.

Got to be the best chav post of the year thus far.

I have 'a few k' spare every month. Text book stuff.

From a member relatively active on the forum and been a around since 2002 ? You'd not make a very good detective would you? It's a genuine situation I can assure you.

check with your motgage company . most will allow you to overpay 5% of owed per year . if your intrest is calculated daily (which it should be ) then to me this beats saving all day long imho
