TIA and hope all that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^makes sense!!!
Hi toochoosey
Welcome aboard!
You can do it whatever way you wish to. I found it easier for my account to start with the money that was in the account and add to it. Others find it easier to start with a target and try to get to that goal.
Good luck

Transferred £3 today from one account but my other is looking odd because of uncleared transactions so will be transferring tomorrow when it should have sorted itself out!It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
