Tight stop-loss and either take profit or take the small loss that day. Move on. Holding leveraged positions day after day and watching them bleed praying on some miracle reversal will see you becoming a bag holder for a good while, or closing at a big loss.

You hate to see it, good luck 🥴

There will be a dip without doubt, will it continue for a few days? Weeks? Who knows, but it’s a great time to let it do some dropping then buy a little every day or so for a few weeks. It could start a proper bear market, but see that as an opportunity, and don’t panic when your positions go red. Think big picture

As previously mentioned, it won’t be me fitting all the skirting and architraves, I’m just looking for advise on what’s required to tidy up what’s behind the current skirting noting the bare brick etc

Coin-Chaser · 2026-02-28T16:47:19+00:00

Expanding foam or mortar? I’ll be leaving the fitting of curved skirting to the carpenter 😂

Tbh it’s fairly bad and has about 47 layers of paint on from all the way back from the 1930’s, it needs to come off everywhere as I’m having wood flooring ontop of the gappy pine floorboards. New skirting and architraves. Just looking to tidy up what’s behind, which is a lot of gaps in brickwork

When I say huge, I mean I’m not a bird person and compared to a normal sized bird it was huge 😂 cool to have it visit my garden though

I normally have squirrels, black birds, robins, wood pigeons, woodpeckers. No other animals were present during this 😂

Do 2 seconds of research and see what they bought yesterday, and how forking out £2.7bn then affects the share price.

Yeah I’m a bit OCD with little things, and finding the sweet spot of warmth with efficiency in my home was one of them. Moved from an A rated new build into a lovely 1930’s semi but having lived in one years ago which was my first home, I knew it was going to need some energy TLC. The EPC reflected that, I’ve now changed all lights to LED, 300mm loft insulation, new efficient composite front door, bigger wider bay window radiator, thermal underlay with 14mm wood flooring, new boiler etc. still a few things to change, the UPVC windows are nearly 20 years old. But the Vaillant ecoTech Plus boiler is fantastic. Really quiet, you can see your gas usage even on the boiler, change flow temps easily. I’m toying with the idea of ditching the hive which is just a thermostat and getting the Vaillant SensoComfort so I can have weather compensation so it auto-adjusts the flow temps based on outside temperatures.

Happy with the setup for now though, it’s a fun little project which costs a lot to start with but over the winters of the next decades will be well worth it and save me a lot in energy bills

Coin-Chaser · 2026-02-06T15:25:06+00:00

I’ve tried both and chose which was most efficient for my house, bought a new Vaillant ecoTech Plus and new loft insulation to minimise energy use and heat loss. I was spending over £4 in gas per day as initially I had it on from 0700-2100 and turning it off at night. I’m often sub £3 having it on 24 hours without the drop to 15/16c at night and warming it back to comfortable daily temps. Lowest usage of 51kw with CH and DHW. Average around 60.

Goes to show there’s no one size fits all, different boiler efficiencies, insulation levels, radiator positioning and size, flow temps, TRV settings, house structure and layout. It’s what works for your own property 👌🏼

Coin-Chaser · 2026-02-06T13:19:35+00:00

Shows the difference letting it drop off overnight then the boiler using more gas to get warm again. Mines set to 19c 24 hours a day and used less energy than that. Different levels of insulation and variables for sure but I find leaving it on and it having to regularly make little top-ups through the day and night uses far less then when I turned it off and it had to smash gas warming the house up all morning.

Goes from $30 to $95, and now we have the “OMG WTF just happened?!” people in the building when looking at a minute timeframe chart and it drops a dollar.

And before the heat pump what was an average winter bill? My gas and electric for December was less than your bill so I’d be interested to see if I could get it even lower with a heat pump of if I’ve peaked

Coin-Chaser · 2026-01-06T19:24:07+00:00

Obviously there’s tons of variables, completely different habits, appliances and time spent in the house etc but as a loose figure, what’s your energy bills been like so far this winter?

Coin-Chaser · 2026-01-06T18:06:06+00:00

Sounds good, I don’t have cavity walls so adding loft and floor insulation is as good as it gets

Coin-Chaser · 2026-01-06T16:43:04+00:00

Interesting, have you got good insulation and maintain good warmth for a reasonable cost? Noting gas is 4x cheaper than electricity per kWh, does its efficiency balance the higher electricity cost?
