    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 :o

    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 :D 5 figures! Woooop! It's a bit sad how pleased I am about that; we're still in a lot of debt, after all :o 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.... :(

    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
