We’ve taken a little slice of the UK banking sector on-board with today’s purchase of 774 Lloyds Banking Group shares at £0.6719 for a total outlay of £520.05 plus dealing costs.
On the back of a ton of re-structuring news of late, hopefully Lloyds can put a horror stretch behind it and make us a quid or two into the bargain. If it can – a little belatedly – follow in Barclays footsteps, we’ll sure be onto a good thing.

Have you checked out Kiva yet? Play the video to the right to get a bit of an overview or pay them a visit and get your own Kiva lending portfolio up and running.
