Not really doing, more thinking and planning. Mrklaw’s posts have set me off investigating gilt ladders.
I remember studying gilts as part of professional exams for a previous career decades ago but long forgotten.Thanks

I'm impressed with all the motivated, busy people. I'm feeling dizzy just reading about it….
I waited for a regular saver to mature, gained £180 in interest, and successfully opened a replacement - all in the same day. I also entered the interest, and a couple of items of expenditure in my spreadsheet.

Also, wife quit her job this week despite a few years to retirement. She does have another role lined up but three months away. Also doing a little freelancing. However, it does focus the mind on how you will draw retirement income.

4 day trip to visit friends and family including 1* long road bike ride in the sun with friends, country walk with family and 3* meals out. Then once home again, 2* lunches with friends, 1 book read and a longer dog walk pre-storm. Didn't check portfolio or fiddle with anything.

Finally completed on the sale of a buy to let - it went on the market in late February, offer accepted mid July and we'd been ready to exchange since the end of August, so were beginning to think it would never actually happen.
Booked a train trip from Vancouver to Toronto.
Next up will be sorting out how best to utilise the proceeds from the house sale and get the capital gains bit dealt with.
