Morning all,
Just a flying visit today.
Mrs @ Miss Melnibone both down with 'coughy, fluey, buggy 'things
and I'm running around playing at Florence Nightingale.
Looks like I'll be cooking Christmas dinner this week.
Nows there's a delight that they can look forward to.;-)
Suppose I better go and watch one of those Delia cooking
programs on UK-TV.
I prefer watching Nigella myself, but the figure conscious
female Melnibones reckon she uses too many creamy things.
(Why do they think I watch it for the cooking tips?) :-))
A good day for taking TP's advice and standing aside, I think.
Melnibone.

Little Woman. Saw your post in Traders' Room. Wasn't quite quick enough on IOT - trying at 371 but doesn't look as if I will get any. But got a feeling it will go up after Xmas when people read the newspapers. Another one missed.

Yes, but at 378? I think I'll wait to see if it drops on profit-taking later today. You did well to pick up on the trades before the price shot up. It's not one I watch.

little woman - You did well to sell your ETL's some weeks ago at around 70p. Today price is 40p and I have been adding to my longs. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will recover.
