    Beanie's thing about plodding comes in very handy here - with all the craziness around in public life at the moment, plodding along and adding up the small gains becomes even more valuable.

  • Not liking the look of my shares at the moment...

    Transferred £340 into my s&s isa.

    Well done on not letting it rattle you, ups and downs are all part and parcel of the game, as you well know :money:

    Thank you; bit scary but I'm in it for the long haul so hopefully this is just a blip!

    I'm so fed up of the weather. It's been raining here non-stop for about 4 hours and it's so gloomy. Where is the summer?!

    Positive things today:
    • Lost 5 1/2lbs at SW last night so very pleased :)
    • Transferred £3.41 to savings
    • Transferred another £150 to s&s ISA.
    • Bought 150 shares of Standard Life (already up £13 on these!)
    • Topped up my holding of Vodaphone so I now own 100 shares of those.
    • One more day of work left for me until my weekend :)

    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
