And not only that, according to your blog you're also mixing in a bit of adventurous individual stock picking! :eek:

I know....! Dunno how well that's going to go, to be honest

Well done - it's on my to do list as well, but it's only been there for a month or so. I'm still in the research phase at the moment, so it'll be into the new year before I take action

I'm continuing to research as well; there's so much to read...

It's December! :j :j

My favourite month of the year, and I'm so looking forward to this year with DS in the mix. I know he's too young to know what Christmas is but I think he'll like the lights on the Christmas tree, plus he's a very social boy so lots of people for cuddles when we visit various family members

In mortgage news, our mortgage is now £99,690 5 figures! Woooop! It's a bit sad how pleased I am about that; we're still in a lot of debt, after all but, it all of a sudden seems much more manageable we're not going to do much of an OP this month, as I'm now just on statutory maternity pay, so our household income is vastly reduced but we'll continue to plod along

DS has woken up....

Getting to 5 figures is a huge milestone! Well done, it makes it seem so much more manageable.

Well done SF, we got to within £2k of 5 figures before moving house, I imagine it would have felt great. Just think how big the buzz will be when your investments get to 6 figures and you've next to no mortgage left! :T
