Popped £300 in it as I don't really get it. I was in case it becomes something bigger for my kids. I kind of get that Bitcoin is limited, but don't think its backed up by anything.

Re: Increasing pension payments vs paying more into an ISA

I have both, but push most into my pension. I have to as I didn't start my pension till 2015 and i'm almost 50.

Re: Choices

I guess on that, if you have places you normally go. Looking now for public footpaths or Google mapping a straight line and looking for anything in the way if you had to walk.

Re: Hello!

Hello :D For me the most important thing is that you are getting the right mindset. For me anything you do now should put you in a better place. Our water here is really hard, so we use bottled water for consumption. Because of this we naturally rotate our water. I think you have to answer for examp...

Re: Hi everyone

Re: Some lessons from Covid

Glad you ok. I've no idea if I've had it. I've always worn a mask when the shop is open. There's seems to be 4 of us that have dodged it or only asymactic. Don't think any of my family have had it either.
