Emily - I owe you a heap of thanks for setting me off on this challenge. I'd had my ISA for ages and put absolutely nothing in it. Now barely 2 weeks later and I've saved £77. I've certainly found that my dmp eased the stress I was under and I'm sure it'll make life easier for you too. Take care.
Just transferred another £10 today so £77.02 in the ISA :j
Well done Lelc :T
It's amazing how, with a bit of thinking, you can stretch your budget, isn't it?
I find myself thinking " do I really need it? can i get it cheaper, wait a bit longer?" so I can find that days payment!!!!
I'm saving to my ISA too, this is meant to be my kids uni fund, but have had to borrow money from it, so my payment a day is repaying themHoping to stick to the challenge this year!!
