    Update #43 Q3 2025

    Managed to pay 40K in this quarter, representing our full his 'n' hers ISA contributions for 2025/2026. Bought some VWRP and some VGOV, in proportions enough to maintain the sort of 60:40 balance of stocks and not-stocks.

    VWRP: £281K
    Cash: £151K
    VGOV: £60K
    Other stuff: £52K
    ---
    Total: £544K on October 3rd.

    Past the half-million mark! Who would have thought it.

    Slow and steady,

    Ray.

    Edit: don't normally add to these posts, but I have just sold some of the "other stuff". Specifically, 3 quantum computing stocks which I bought in January. They have risen spectacularly, particularly in the last week, and so I feel justified in taking some quantum chips off the table and will look for something else to invest in with the proceeds. when the time feels right.

    VWRP: £288K
    Cash: £172K
    VGOV: £60K
    Other: £38K

    Total: £558K on October 9th.
