    Happy 3rd MSE birthday Westie.

    I only started about 6-8 weeks before you.

    Yay MSE buddy,

    What I find bizarre is that you dont get a badge when you post on the site, Me and you are still sitting on 1k posts made, and I'm sure with this thread and the threads you run, we both should be way higher lol....

    Wonder if it will suddenly change to 3K maybe I will reply to MSE badger and ask

    Hello MSE Buddy,
    I hadn't really noticed. I'm sure MSE badger will notice at some point and change it. Are other people's the same?

    Any other savings account that you have?

    Good idea to wait till you work out where you want your isa allowance to be put this year, to be honest, with my banking head on ISA rates are so low that I cant see it being a problem where you put the money or which company you choose....

    You could add the total to the next one, if you decide where your isa will be,

    Westie983
    Mine are either reg. Savers which I max out or pultry ISA rates.
    In fact my current account now pays more than my ISA but that doesn't do much for my virtual sealed pot.

    Lets hope that May is a good one and we keep those transfers going, dont forget it doesnt matter how much you transfer it soon adds up....

    Thought I would send in an update of my own.

    I am over halfway and almost at the halfway point, so doing pretty well. I could have saved more but I keep on overpaying on my mortgage, not a bad thing really. I am also squirriling money off each month into a better ISA.

    Once I have hit my target I will raise a bit more 😉
