No prob.

Usual market drift but the position is as shown below. Firstly the allocation across all 7 funds (courtesy of Trustnet portfolio tool) then the graphical and tabular data on performance. These are for the past 12 months, but don't account for purchase date of the units, but it does give an idea of the underlying performance vs FTSE All Share





As you know, we're presently focused upon growth for our investments, so the above I think are all good in this snap shot.

Have had two Friday's in the pub in a row... which means there's not much left of my "pub allowance" on a four week basis!

With the mortgage down at £10350, it would seem close, but we've just renewed household contents and buildings insurance which was much higher than last year (£489); somehow I had in mind it had only gone up about £80. I was too busy to check and forgot, now I see last year was only £304 :eek:

So I shall go and write a thousand lines "I must get quotes, I must get quotes...."

Today I at long last got around to putting up curtain poles in the lounge (stainless steel modern types with new curtains) having put up bay window curtains last autumn

Made a massive difference to the room but also made me realise what a pain my eye-sight/varifocals are when working at height and thus having to look through the wrong portion of the lens. The joys of ageing!

Then tried to fit basket to DD's bike handle-bars; she can place sports kit there when needed. OH had checked in Halfords it would fit specifically the bike we have; of course I try at home and the brake levers etc prevent basket fitting.... OH less than happy, so she should be discussing with Halfords in a forthright manner soon!

Tut, yep they're real robbers now when it comes to renewal. Tesco tried put ours up to a similar amount so went to DirectLine and got over £200 off!
Went back to Tesco's to see if they could match it, they could magically come down £100 but not enough to tempt me to stay.

I say there's a definite problem here and that can easily be resolved by increasing the beer budget.
Priorities and all that!

That's what I like to see; thinking outside the box (or is that spreadsheet cell????)
