Had thought about doing a NW update for the end of February, but the stock market is making that less enjoyable. Poor Ukraine

Absolutely having had to be offline when my interweb connection broke, I had the news on in the background a *lot* Awful.

Glad you are feeling better

Bought some lottery tickets and paid another £10 into my SIPP. I am a big saddo - fully appreciate I may pay tax on my SIPP - but feels like I've won a game every time I get the extra 20% added  Are pensions just gambling for "sensible" people?

It's effectively 25% uplift on pensions which helps cushion rise and falls

Basically No, not really  but you're doing brilliantly again, Ed.  Enjoy

Shamless referral link

For anyone interested in a free £15/a magical savings app that uses AI to save for you at a not horrendous instant access rate of 0.61%, Chip are offering me £15 for any referrals until midnight on Monday 28.02.22. You'll get £15 too.

Risk free (FSCS protected up to £85,000) - just download the app, add my referral code (CHIP-GHV475), pay in £1+ (I went for £1.01) and keep it saved for 30 days.If you just want the £15, turn off all the autosaves etc. Then repeat by generating your own referral codes and getting your OHs, adult children etc. to sign up by midnight Monday for more free money

Would appear to be money for nothing, so much as that is possible. Don't worry, I don't intend on turning this thread into a bunch of referral guff, it's just a better offer than the usual tenner.

That's very interesting, Ed, I'll add it to the bottom of the to-do list on my thread.  I'm all for the free money again
