Sniff of a profit

Result since last update: £626.48

So I got it properly this time. No man cold third time round since the honeymoon. A full on, sore-throated, chest producing, crusty nosed running phlegm fest with the mother of headaches and a worrying temperature thrown in for good measure. Guess I should be grateful it all seems to be disappearing quicker than it arrived.

Had been feeling a little under the weather earlier in the week and by Wednesday afternoon I'd pretty much stopped trading / working and retired to under the duvet. Thursday was pretty miserable and decided not to bother getting up Friday for the 4th ODI between Pakistan and South Africa. Bored and thinking I was a bit better I got up late morning / early afternoon and had a crack. Quickly realised I wasn't really feeling up to it but had open positions that had moved in my favour. Decided to essentially leave them and just monitor the match and dump them for a smaller profit if needed. Can't really remember now. May have reduced some red during the game but the positions weren't that big, South Africa coasted the match and my positions by the end of it amounted to a profit of just over £300.

Took it easy the rest of Friday and Saturday and was feeling pretty much better by this morning. Caught up with a few domestic things, went shopping for a new bathroom and then caught some of today's NFL. Made around £145 on the big game in London between the Giants and Dolphins. The weather put more than a bit of a dampner on it but still a great spectacle to have a regular season game in the UK. Did the first 1/4 and a bit of the Saints v 49ers game in the evening before dinner too making around £175.

So there you go. Apologies for the lack of updates recently. Bit sick of colds at the moment but that was a bad one. Tend to escape them normally but 3 since the honeymoon is getting annoying. Hopefully see me clear through the rest of the winter anyway. Still not tip top but definitely on the mend. Not sure if I'll be up for the start of the final ODI between Pakistan and South Africa tomorrow but am planning to catch some of it and will update again tomorrow.
