Just looked now and it seems to have gone back up to £11,040 so I might hang on a bit more.0

I can't believe it has dropped right down to £97300

Every month it drops and drops. Now it is I wish I had taken it out back when it was 11k. Something surely is wrong as it should be increasing, not falling.0

Every month it drops and drops.Not strictly true. From 2008 to early 2022, it would have gone up pretty consistently. From early 2022, it would have gone mostly downwards with a short drop in oct 22, a short increase after that and then down until about two weeks ago when it started rising again.
It will not go back to 2021 levels. Those days have gone. We are now back within the typical ballpark range.
