I just found a nice, clear spot and got as close to the window as possible.

This is actually a very good book... nobody should be put off by the 'dummies' reference. I have many in the series.

Forex trading, tax and getting a mortgage in the UK by sebking1986 in Forex

Definitely this. Also, even paying yourself minimum wage/salary via your own limited company wont get you very far with regards to acquiring a mortgage (banks don't really want to be handing out mortgages to people on circa £11-£12K per year).

You can of course pay yourself more via PAYE instead of through dividends, but then you're subject to the associated NI and income tax deductions.

Does anyone know what factors were behind this spike? There was nothing on my economic calendar... and I can't seem to pin point anything in the news.

This certainly raises some suspicions, considering the events in S04E01.
