Cable is bobbing around like crazy today. I checked just before going for lunch, and it was just over 1.58. Now it is back over 1.60 again! Fortunes are made and lost on days like this.

What are people's thoughts regarding the massive cuts being announced next week? I'm believing this will have a negative impact on consumer confidence, but probably broad support from the banking community. Will this cancel itself out? I get the feeling that now is a good time to be buying. Tell me i'm wrong?

You're wrong.

I've loaded up over the last few days!

It's dropped to the teens during the day and about 5C at night. Getting nippy!!
