    Another £18.50 into my pot this morning please :D

    I know it's not Friday, but I'm using the pot to save up for a masterclass for colouring (I make my own cards etc) and I sold £18.50 worth of cards so thought the money should go to my crafty savings ;)

    Can I ask your advice on this one please? I'm hoping to join... but do you all have separate bank accounts to put this money in?

    I have an account held with a different bank to the rest of my accounts as it reduces the temptation to dip into it :)

    actually... realised I have a flexi saver account as part of our joint account... if I could get the Mr to join in... we could both put it in there! I can still keep an eye on it, but know not to touch it! :)

    I put mine into a separate saving account with a different bank. The account is managed on line and I can't get to the money straight away. It takes 3 days for it to get to my normal bank account. This works for me because if I find I am short I have to manage because I can't get to the money immediately! :j
