I had to be up early to greet Ellie. She was back to normal and very cheerful when she arrived. I, however, seemed to have developed sea legs overnight. I found that I was a little wobbly and slightly woozy when I got up. As the usual morning agenda played out, I decided there would be no walk before breakfast. I dropped Ellie off at school. All the kids were all dressed in their Christmas jumpers and looked very festive.
I went home for breakfast and we sat over our porridge, reading the overnight news and the social media feeds. I had started to feel a little more like myself, so I grabbed the Christmas cards and walked into the village to put them in the postbox. I also took the opportunity to collect Di's meds from the chemist. By the time I arrived home, Di had started on the ironing so I settled down with the MacBook.
I have a small portfolio of stocks and shares in an ISA. I spent the next hour or two reviewing these holdings and shuffling them into grouped funds. I must say that this platform (Trading212) and the portfolio as a whole has been very good and I've seen a 34% return on the investments so far. I do, however, need to spend some more time understanding how the platform works overall. There are some things I'd like to automate but I'm struggling to find the best approach so far.
The afternoon was spent with the Kindle until it was time to collect Ellie from school. She was very pleased with herself as she had been presented with the Headmistress's "Star of the Week" award. As soon as we arrived home, I grabbed the machine and laminated the certificate for her. Zoe came along to collect Ellie at 16:00, and after a quick tidy-up we settled down for dinner and a quiet evening.
