# Weekly savings round-up

**HIVE's wrekt or is it?**
Well, got up this morning and the prices were down. Time to buy some HIVE, I thought, I hadn't been expecting this and had a look to see what loose change I had. Then I thought:
> Wait a minute, I was a bit disappointed last week that the price had dropped by the time I came to withdraw to fiat and I didn't quite get my full Capital Gains Tax Allowance.

That's extra money in the kitty, now. I could spend some of that on more HIVE, recover the HIVE I cashed out *and* put the rest into savings until the price goes up a bit. Then pull it out and claim the original investment costs (the one I've just taken from the CGA) against it. Well, I'm as pleased as a dog with two tails at thinking that up.

So that's what I did. Also threw in what I'd lost from inflation and curation over 14 days, so now I should be pretty much where I was. Plus I have a kitty for price increases.

**Keychain**
I've had a few problems with @keychain, which was producing lots of gobbledegook in the username field when I wanted to send tokens. I didn't understand the advice that I received from keychain, so I asked the IT folks at work. I'd had it on FireFox, they suggested uninstalling from FireFox and installing on Chrome, which I did and which works.

It's a pain in the arse, though: everything is set up on Firefox  but the authorisation is on Chrome and *everything* has got be re-entered. **Sigh**.

**LEO**
So LEO is going a bit bonkers, then, 4,500+ sold in the last 24 hours and hovering around .38 HIVE. Good thing I topped up to 15,000 LP when I did. Still haven't seen anything about LeoAds payouts for March. Anyone would think they were busy 😁.

* **Blogging** - Haha! Well, work put paid to my plans for extra blogging. Yesterday, I was in bed by 6pm, and asleep by 7pm. That's the kind of week it's been. Never mind, there's a new week starting. HBD looks better because the interest paid out this week.

### What's New

It was a very busy week this week, with a very good outcome. This morning I was out at the crack of yawn to meet my niece, and my grand-nephew, who I was meeting for the first time (he's seventeen next week)! Really lovely to spend time with them, and she's a great organiser, so I shall be seeing her brothers soon.

My little side hustle went well, we've started to agree some principles for the business plan. I had a sit-down meeting with the Treasurer and sorted out some stuff, too, like how we're going liaise over credit control.

The Treasurer doesn't think we will get enough additional bookings a year to cover the cost of my role. It would be 200 extra bookings across the two buildings (5 a week). Almost feels like a challenge, I might open a book!

Meanwhile, over in my main hustle, I agreed a new contract, short-term and nice compensation (very welcome). We're on our way to finalising the pre-grant agreement work for the grant that was agreed a week or two ago. My plan is that everything will be done and dusted by the end of April. It may take the funder a weeks to sort things out, but funding should start flowing by the beginning of June.

Knitting is going okay, I've been inspired to get started again, thanks to @gillianpearce and I've met up again with the Monday knitting group again. I bumped into my French group in the pub yesterday, classes will start again in the Autumn, which will be great, plus I hope there will be some trips to France and the French film club in Sandwich.

So there we are.

Have a good week, everyone!
