No - no real need for 4WD - I've gone for the 1.4 ECO TSI XCELLENCE DSG.

My next door neighbour has just taken ownership of a Seat Ateca in white. Looks nice Skinny, is your one 4WD ?

Be afraid small child, be afraid..

Good Morning.

Shadowside - since I ordered it at the end of January, I've emailed once a month for an update - the last time at the beginning of April.

This was the dealers comment :- "the factory won’t confirm the build week until four weeks prior to build so I don’t really have news for you".

I'll be emailing at the beginning of May - although to be fair, at the outset he did say it would probably be late May/early June.

I've still only seen one on the road.

A very grey day here today with a high of 13°C forecast - dropping to a high of 10°C on Tuesday.

Roll on Summer.

Broadly flat for me. YTD down a bit on the week to -5.6%.

Bright day but little direct sun. Yorkshire looks to have been the warmest part of the UK. We had 17.6C after 6.7C overnight. After telling us the week would get colder, it's been warmer. I don't know what to expect with more cold forecasted.

I'm only just starting research as I've been busy with other stuff. A main dealer service and unanticipated new coil was very expensive. Might use out local back street garage next year.

Bantams need only a point for the play-offs or either of two other teams not to win so a good weekend is hopefully on the cards. I hope that extends to the rest of you.

Another funny old day. I'm up 0.078% on the day today (FTSE100 -0.056%), down -1.99% on the week (FTSE100 -2.91%) but up +3.05% YTD (FTSE100 -0.40% and HIX -1.99%).

Best rises: MKS +1.92%, S32 +1.23% and SSE +1.19%.

Worst falls: WMH -1.51%, BP. -1.18% and TW. -1.04%.

Best rises YTD: TW. +31.73%, ULVR +19.97% and IMI +17.12%.

Worst falls YTD: PSON -23.21%, TSCO -153.78% and BT.A -15.25%.

I was supposed to have a pub lunch with friends today, but none materialised. I have reported the situation to the Hon Sec. Usually we are 6 or 8 present.

ADVFN didn't indicate that shares had closed this afternoon, except for AIM shares. It went on well after 5pm, and I didn't look after that. They had the closing prices correctly, but didn't mark the shares as closed. After hours trading continued as always, but that doesn't affect the closing auction.

Onward to the weekend. I hear that they are forecasting cold wseather after tomorrow, with possible wintry showers. I am going to Ipswich by train. Must wrap up well.

Enjoy the weekend.

A good week for small caps. +0.5% 0n the day +2.5% on the week and +5.7% YTD.

When is the Ateca due Skinny? Must be about now. Its on my list so interested as to how you get on.Still seems to be getting good reviews.

High pressure jetted the polytunnel today and reordered heated greenhouse so everything looks a lot better. First tomatoe set. Plums and pears look to have set well and most apple trees in blossom. Just hope next weeks frost isn't too severe.

Enjoy your weekends.

Thanks Skinny! And well done on your YTD figure, you've obviously avoided the worst of the last few weeks!

[skinny] 21/4/2017 17:30

My SIPP finished up 0.11%, -1.24% on the week and is +5.54% YTD.

Enjoy your weekend, especially Sunday MrP!

freddie, sad to see another well known and respected business being taken overseas

Not familiar with Ithaca, but sad all the same

[freddie ferret] 21/4/2017 16:08

Poor day.

I note the loss of WS Atkins and Ithaca Energy.

[mrphil] 21/4/2017 15:53

Well it's been a pretty poor week for the SIPP which looks likely to have lost around 2% on the week. But then this volatility was only to be expected I guess, and no doubt we'll be seeing a whole lot more.

On a contrary note, just sorted out the staff bonus after our excellent first quarter so they should be pleased. Rounded it off with an additional small top up into the staff social fund as they are currently planning a couple of trips.

[deanforester] 21/4/2017 11:08

5/7 for me. One or two good guesses.

+9°C this morning, with cloud cover. It is brighter, but the sun is still elusive.

[mrphil] 21/4/2017 10:14

SIPP now down £0.34 on the day :-(

[mrphil] 21/4/2017 09:26

A pretty impressive 3/7 for me this week, and I knew one of them!

SIPP currently up £74 on the day, will this be the first positive day this week?

[skinny] 21/4/2017 08:36

Good Morning.



5/7.

Morning All.

Out all day with the grandkids yesterday so didn't get to study the screen which is just as well as I see it was another down day! Enjoyed Winchester Science Centre but to be honest they would get more out of it from about age 6 upwards. Went to Hillier Gardens afterwards and they probably enjoyed that more - the cake was certainly better! Weather was fine so we took a gamble and used the Leaf. Round trip of 52 miles and, avoiding motorways where possible, we had 20 miles left when we got back home. So that's a range of about 70 miles of careful driving on a 6-year old Leaf with one bar of the battery capacity now gone.

-0.08%, [FTSE250 -0.2%]

Highest value risers : SDV +2.1%, CSN +1.5%, BMS +3.4%.
Worst fallers : BA. -1.9%[xd], ESP -2.6%, BRSN -1%.

Overcast most of the day, not looking much better for 1st home CC match at Trent Bridge, starting tomorrow.

[deanforester] 20/4/2017 17:51

I'm down -0.165% on the day today (FTSE100 +0.056%).

Worst falls: KGF -1.94%, WMH -1.82% and BA. -1.7% XD.

Best rises: PSON +1.46%, RIO +1.24% and CPG +0.67%.

Looks like most of my shares missed the late rise.

+4°C first thing with a layer of cloud above the inversion layer. Soon burnt off, but about +12°C was the best it got to.

-0.1%.

A damp but mild start this morning. Dry, warm and bright this afternoon, if very little direct sunlight. 18.7C.

[freddie ferret] 20/4/2017 17:07

No bad thing that, labour market was getting tight drawing in more migrants etc.
