October 2017: Portfolio Update

Very closely matched this month with my 1.68% v. the FTSE's 1.63%. I've also broken double figures and stand at 10.79% for the year. A year in which the FTSE is hitting new highs.

Again, October is a month with no transactions/dividends for me, which is becoming strangely familiar. 
But more significantly, no Lloyds purchases!
