    Generally everyone transfers at the end of each week into a savings account mainly on a Friday but any day that suits you best. We round down the the nearest £10 or whatever you prefer there is no set amount. I think I have that right but if I am wrong I am sure someone will put you right. I have only been on here 6 months:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Happy saving.

    Do whatever suits you :D I rounded my bank account down to a round number today with a small mortgage overpayment, but have a week to go until payday so am still contemplating if I can afford £10 tomorrow. If not, it'll be £2 or so ;)

    I've been wondering what all these VSP things were in peoples signatures - finally tracked it down!

    I'd like to join in too please, if I may? Sounds like a great way to be saving some money.

    If you don't spend any money in your set period, do you not transfer any money, or do you drop by £10? -- just curious as to the general idea :)

    Hi Marksy
    Welcome aboard.
    I have added you to our list on page 1.
    To answer your question - Its up to you, I tend to round my account down to the nearest £5 or £10. If I have not spent anything from my account then I tend not to transfer any money, but as I have said, it's up to you.
    Good luck and Happy saving :)
