    Hello and welcome Lornadoone

    I have set up a e-saver account with the Halifax.

    Good luck with your saving whatever its for. This is a great thread and everyone is very friendly and supportive no matter how much you save. ;)

    Your most welcome Lornadoone. Thats the way to do it, you dont want your creditors having any more of your pennies. The advise on DF threads is always to have accounts that they cant touch. Your dealing with your debts and thats the main thing and taking steps to save is a great motivator.:T:T

    I have never managed to save before and VSP has given me so much motivation along with its members.

    Good luck and enjoy saving and seeing things grow ftom small eggs. :D:D
