online stock trading accounts - my hassle of trying to get one.

apart from being busy with games, and books and other stuffs,
i've been trying to find ways to reduce my ever present boredom. i tried to get one of those online stock trading accts.
wanna learn about other stuffs too. so i tried to apply from a few websites to open a online stock trading acct.


1. http://www.selftrade.co.uk
2. http://www.fool.co.uk/share-dealing/share-dealing.aspx
3. http://www.hsbc.co.uk

well.. like they said.. 3rd time a charm..

1 and 2 needed me to send stuffs to them.. and as usual.. when i have to do stuffs manual stuffs apart from looking at the monitor. i get fedup.

selftrade charges £25 p.a for a self select shares isa.
and £12.50 per trade made on the dealings acct.

fool does it for £2.50 less at £10.00 per trade. and they don't charge for the self select p.a

hsbc does it weirder. £11.65 for each trade and add an extra 5£ for trades under the self select shares isa.

right now i'm trying to find ppl who knows how to read financial statements and give me a brief run through ..
though the websites are doing well enough.
and i still need to know how to buy blue chips/ growth stocks..
sigh..
so much to learn.. so little time.

pray i get better luck in this than the weekly national lottery draws lol

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

Ultimate Burger. ( sorry no pics)

Tried something new for lunch the other day. namely ultimate burger. . it's a tad pricey when compared to the burgers i had in macdonalds or burger king. :P £7 per medium sized burger. i had just the minted lamb burger(£6.95), and some spicy onion rings.(£1.95) in the ultimate burger store in tottenham court road. it was not too bad. a pretty nice setting too. all u have to do is queue up order ur food, then get a number then u put it on the table. they have sort of a hanger for u to put ur numbers to. just like in those kind of chinese open air market in petaling jaya give u number then they come look for u.. but this one they come to look for u with ur food almost about 2 mins after u've sat down and they would ask u if u liked ur food. gripes about the food. lamb burger seems small.. but its' about the size of a chargrilled flame burger in burgerking. taste wise, very tender lamb meat with mint sauce. it's nice. :P the onion rings are a different matter though . for ...
