    New total is £478.98. Very pleased to see that my total savings (includes holiday fund etc.) is now sitting at over £1,000 for the first time in over a year :)

    A few small payments (including some of the now mythical 'interest') have been added to my account. New total £490.99.

    Ooh - the savings bug strikes! :D New total updated, still a few smaller payments to be reflected in my total savings as well.

    I have transferred my NSC funds into my ISA (which already had £100 or so in it). So, no more tax being nicked from the pitiful interest I receive and a boost in the arm for my DFW aspirations...
