Thanks for the replys...yep my main aim was to get away with paying as little as possible for shooting several approaches. The easiest way in my eyes would be to shoot the approaches VFR but under the hood with a safety pilot, then to expedite the next approach to go missed at minimums and basically circle back to the IAF or get vectors for the next one (not a circle to land). I understand that the ATC need to be fully aware of what my intentions will be, but I just wondered if practice approaches as mentioned are common or not in the UK. I could of course carry out the full Missed app. procedure, which wouldn't be a bad thing anyway. (Would be crappy to get charged an approach fee for every practice approach though.) I did hear Calais are happy to give practice approaches as are many military airfields...
