Karmacat I'm still intrigued with the trading thingy! Is it stocks & shares?

Very windy day here! Troy, EH, its the FTSE100 - the UK shares index - and two sets of rates of exchange - between the pound and the US dollar, and between the euro and the US dollar. I don't want to be seen as encouraging people to spreadbet, because you really can lose an awful lot of money *very* quickly, but I need to talk about what I'm practising - I've been dipping my toes in (and making profits - very, very small profits, cos I get scared) for about 3 years now

I've been out a looooong walk, and have mostly decluttered some broken glass - need to do the rest of it tomorrow - I'm pleased with that, it was quite dangerous to have it around. And I've even done some work on the dratted curtain
Believe me, if I succeed and start making the kind of money thats theoretically available to me, you'll know

:wave:Hi KC!
You are sounding so energetic these days & very positive, so glad the lurgy is well on it's way out!
Love that you call it decluttering - lol - much more 'je ne sais quoi' than 'chores' - lol.
OH is so exhausted by the 'chores' we did this morning that he's having a snooze - is it a man thing? - I can't even fathom having a snooze knowing how much more there is left to to! - lol - perhaps if we introduce him to the word decluttering he might be energized instead?
Well accomplishment of the day is that we finally 'decluttered' a year's worth of batteries and a brita filter to the appropriate recycle bins in town that somehow did not want to leave the store cupboard.:D (Small things and all!)
Now off to sort laundry, tidy kitchen, frame and hang a poster and attend to banking/bills.:rotfl:

Mmmmm to trading, it's so exciting, I used to follow stuff years ago but now out of the habit. I dont think spreadbetting is for me but I will need to learn a bit more about different sources of income for when I quit home-job

Well done on getting out for long walk, it's been so windy here today I find it both energising & exhausting if that makes sense. Cat loves it when it's windy, dashes in & out of the cat flap & up & down the stairs for hours, easily pleased
