I've just put some money in my esaver! it's weird seeing it come up when the current account balance comes up, I think I might go and move the rest of my savings pot into it and keep the other account for ACTUAL savings whenever that happens - this account will be for the insurance, car tax and pressie money! which means that before I put the other money in I must remember to leave the car tax money in my current account as you don't get interest in a month when you take money out and tax is due at the end of nov...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I know Bob, in the past I would have had my hair done, maybe a massage and some clothes shopping - now look at me. Still the peace of mind is worth it! Lovely (if cold) day up here today so might go for a walk down the beach later if I can get round to getting dressed...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Did the walk, went to gym... so why have I still got 1 and 1/2 stone to lose?
only two months to the end of the year though and I'm determined that I'll have lost some weight by then. plus there is a very cute new instructor bloke at the gym so now I have eye candy!

Cor 2p, i remember those heady days of interest..*sigh* Well done on the gym, i am useless at going to the gym. Which cereal is it?

It's Nestle cereals Bob but only certain ones - saw it on Golden Nuggets and Frosties in my supermarket today. DS loves Golden Nuggets but we never usually get them cos Mr T doesn't do an own brand! I got him Evan Almighty last time and have ordered the Water Horse this time (my lovely avatar is in it).Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
