In the next few weeks I'm going to start a regular investment of say £2,000 a month into four or five investment trusts - £500 each.

And I'm going to use a very small online trader that provides a very cheap service to buy and sell shares to follow a few tips from Investors Chronicle. Basically each share I buy will only be £100 worth and I'm going to start with £1,000 so tens shares all told.
