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..

today will be a bit earlier as i hvae something to say

. last nite went back. threw the rubbish outside the flat. i think the collectors come at about 8pm-ish. and was trying to think of what to cook. i contemplated against making fish fingers with salad. but it turned out my fridge died again.. i dun understand it.. it just turns off. grumbles. and then my salad went bad. so there's no salad to be eaten. and then i thought wth, lets cook spaghetti, then i washed the pot. and then suddenly realized that it was awfully quiet, and the water was running cold. GAH!! the heater was not working. and that would mean we ran out of gas. and the feller who tops up the gas ( we use a gas card) not in. so cannot cook anything. then i was thinking should i go out and buy food. then i remembered that i havent had rice in AGES. so out came the steamer. and + 4 eggs + canned tuna + half a can of corn. steamed rice + steamed eggs + the rest of them. finished it off. phew.. i wouldnt hvae cooked rice if there was gas. bah i guess it worked out all good...
