So two months on from the leave vote and the general mood is it's still too early to see exactly how the UK economy is faring, although there were certainly some positive signs this week.
On Thursday, in data reinforcing hard figures last week, retailers said this month (August) had seen their strongest monthly sales in six months.
The CBI said sales volumes rose to over 9% in August compared to a year ago, showing punters are still very happy to open their wallets post the Brexit vote.
This would also appear to add weight to the belief that lots of foreign tourists are coming to the UK on the back of the weak pound to go on shopping sprees.
This week one study reported a 7% year-on-year increase in UK international tax-free shopping in July - the month directly after Brexit.
And the UK government is keen to continue the trend and make the UK a number one destination for tourism post the Brexit vote, and appeal to those of us staying at home on so-called "staycations".
New stats show Britons spent £22.1bn on holidays at home following the drop in the pound's value against other currencies.
And companies benefitting too....
Peter Harf, the chairman of luxury shoe maker Jimmy Choo (LON:CHOO) , this week declared that the prospects for the business "never looked better" as its sales have been buoyed by the post-Brexit sterling slide.
Big cap miners - the likes of Rio Tinto (LON:RIO) and BHP Billiton (LON:BLT) - are also now well known to be beneficiaries of the vote and the plunge in the value of the pound because 100% of their revenues are in US dollars.
But the housing market less buoyant..
Property group Countrywide released a crystal-ball gazing report into the sector this week, and it didn't make for that great reading.
It forecasts that house price growth this year (2016) will slow to 2.5% and then fall 1% in 2017 as economic uncertainty takes hold and householders fears over their jobs and future. London will be worst affected but other regions hit too, it says.
But it expects prices to receive to 2% growth in 2018, as the fundamentals of the market remain, namely high demand and a shortage of stock.
This week, heavyweight French bank Société Générale suggested this week prices in London could fall by 30%, and even 50% was possible in some parts of the capital.
That said, Persimmon's (LON:PSN) results weren't exactly negative, but then they did only cover the six months to June 30 this year, with completions increasing 6% to 7,238 new homes sold while the average selling price growing 6% to an average of £205,762.
But the house builder did say it was likely uncertainty around the potential impact of the EU referendum would persist for some time.
Political maneuverings
It's worth mentioning that Owen Smith, the candidate for the Labour leadership, made clear he would continue to fight leaving the EU if he got the gig.
He said in a Commons vote, he would order Labour MPs to block triggering Article 50 unless Theresa May agrees to put the final Brexit deal to the British people or there is another General Election.
There are two major issues here. One is that it is not clear if Parliament will get a vote and secondly, he has unsurprisingly been accused, of moving to go against what the people have already made clear.
Sky hasn't fallen in but what is on the horizon?
The fact things are relatively stable and share prices not really dented doesn’t tell us a great deal on what's to come.
German bank Berenberg highlighted that the UK was not even close to taking any hard decisions of market access versus immigration control and overall paints a rather sombre picture of what's ahead.
"We continue to project trend growth in the UK to slow from 2.1% to a rate of 1.8% as a result of Brexit because businesses will use the UK less as a springboard into the biggest common market in the world, the EU, than before," said analyst Holger Schmieding.
"Being less attractive for investment, the UK will likely attract fewer qualified immigrants as well.
Berenberg assumes that the UK will keep virtually full access to the common market for goods and will face only modest restrictions of access to the EU market for services.
But Schmieding notes that if the UK were to take a hard line on EU immigration, the deal on market access could be worse, potentially reducing UK trend growth by more than it projects.
So again we wait and see...
