Only freedom will do

Have you had any luck with the auction yet?

Unfortuntely not, got a bum steer from the auctioneer. They suggested that, while my bottle was collectable, the market was oversubscribed and that I should wait. 3 months later and the value has fallen by about £100. Hey ho, shall hang on to it and see what transpires.

From what he's said, osteopaths seem rather expensive (£65 for 30 minutes).

Is he definitely seeing an osteopath and not going to the pub?

NHS suggest £35-40 is normal, our local practices are all at the lower end of that.

My osteopath costs £40 per 30 mins but I claim half of that back through Simpl3y H3alth
I would honestly pay more (but dont tell him that) as he can stop the pain should it get to that point. As I said I go as a preventative measure when I feel my back starting to go.
He is quite good looking ....but thats not my reason for going :rotfl:

I'm working on a theory that everybody finds their osteopath attractive because they reduce pain

Another day, another dollar! Off to see an osteopath this morning. Not expecting to find them overly attractive as it is a chap :rotfl:

Invested another £200 or so in Funding C1rcle, total P2P is now £3,151.83 @ a blended rate of 6.57% after tax. Most of the new loans picked up this morning were in the 12.5-13% range, slightly lower than the current, fixed rate they're offering for similar loans, but perfectly good for the purposes of diversification.

Last (and definitely not least), I got another R@tesetter referral from a lovely forumite who didn't want to split the difference and asked me to pay it into DD's account. She is going to end up as one rich little baby! :T

Hopefully things will pick up for the whisky in a few months. Is it usually a particularly volatile market?

I've no idea what he does whilst he's there but paying £65 to a pretty girl sounds like it could be fun, so I'm still waiting for the invitation. If it doesn't come soon, I may just have to send a link to my cousin about the recommended price.

Think you're doing it all wrong seeing a chap, personally... Seriously, I hope it's been worth it and you'll get a good night's sleep now.

Hope the osteopath visit did the trick.

Love reading your diary Ed, always reminds me I should be making my money work harder for me

The osteopath made things *worse*

I have been to my GP this morning who gave me stronger painkillers, a self referral for physio and I picked up some heat pads on the way home as well.

Have been out and bought cards for Mrs E's birthday, a present from me and a present from DD. Being a Dad is the gift that keeps on giving (or is that taking)? :rotfl:

In money news, referral came through for another MFWer, so that's another £50 in my R@tesetter balance (£15 from referral, £35 from me as we split the difference on my referral cashback) :beer:

I am liking the everybody wins side of introducing people to investing

Sorry about the osteopath
Is it worse or worse but will be better soon as they have fixed it?
What did they say it was ?

Worse as in they've moved and intensified the pain, no useful insight beyond what I could have told him. Have to say I wasn't impressed. I basically got a massage and shifted pain.
