I have £2000 to test the waters....

Hi, I have £2000 to test the waters before dedicating more money, while still a beginner.(I know its not much) Looked into some companies and made a portfolio in who I want to invest in to spread the risk.

Here's the 10 companies: http://ift.tt/2oDbtJm

Same in PDF in case you can't view on website: http://ift.tt/2oA1TFE

Before taking the plunge I wanted to double check with people who've got experience.

Q1: 10 companies too much to spread 2k over?

Q2: Some share prices are higher and can only afford 2 shares compared to 60 of another when splitting the pot equally, is this silly or still reasonable? - I know the fees for buying per stock is higher but its £8 per trade maxim paying is ~ £4 per share on some of the expensive one too much?

Q3: Any problems you can see with the portfolio I've made?

Thanks.
