My Council has changed to have many individual local wards, I have three candidates, last year there were two. It used to have a system where you voted for all the candidates in the entire Council area, and the top group got in.

I'm trying to update my bank account details on my work's payroll software and it's not letting me do it. So I sent an email to payroll, and almost signed it off with "Retards" instead of "Regards". Just one of those days.

I think if the company winds up you just lose the money. I also had one company that did a buy-back of small parcels of shares which you had to opt out of if you wanted to keep the shares. Another was bought out by an overseas company - which was actually nice, I made a 50% profit in just over 12 months. I wish I'd bought more than $200 worth of that one!

I've been learning a lot about how the market works, but I definitely prefer funds than individual stocks. But buying a few stocks for $200 has taught me a lot about how everything works. I lost a lot of the value almost straight away, but I have gained most of the losses back over the last couple of years - if things continue as they are I look like I might actually start to make a profit longer term, so things are not as bad as they looked initially.

Share market seems to be up today - although when the value of your shares has hit rock bottom up is pretty much all that's left! Although my worst performer is just sitting there with it's 87% loss, it's not even worth the cost of selling at this point. I might be able to recoup enough for a sandwich, as long as it's a cheap one from the lunch truck and nothing fancy.

Some sort of triple layer sandwich for me, and Mr Woof would like some leftover cat food please.

Put it in ice water and adjust the tube placement so the thermometer shows zero.
