    Interesting to see that BARC finished at about 1.80 which was nice to see.  Interesting too that on my tracking spreadsheet if was at 1.85 at the end of 2021 before wandering about and heading to 2.20 before crashing.  

    I'm wondering how long I can hold my nerve.

    I'm happy the price has risen too. My sharesave is due November the 84p one.
    I hope it keeps steady and continues recovering. I'd say hold your nerve but I'm ever the optimist and relatively new to it all.

    snap!  plus one at 1.19 & another at 1.43 (ah the joys of redundancy!!)

    plus another 15k shares from share purchase....

    sum total is that every penny more adds about £250 to a potential payout.

    Fingers crossed for us both! I'd like to say my investment has tripled but wishful thinking!
