Asked for £1,000 of my money last Thursday, by BACS, one week on no sign. Hoping to get it tomorrow!
I'm leaving the other thousand for a while I think. Just going to see what happens with that since I don't need it at the moment.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -

Just got my thousand through from kaupthing. Relieved! Just put some in my Egg account “I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0

So I've read this thread from the day it was established (almost two years ago!) but never yet signed up! I feel I would be better motivated to save more if I was part of a group! So here I am! :hello:
The difficulty I have is that I'm freelance so a monthly income is never guaranteed, however when I AM earning the intention is to save as much as possible. Hoping to spend 6-8 weeks doing a grand tour of Europe next year, but obviously this is savings dependent (and I don't suppose using the money I need to put aside for tax is a very good idea!).
Over and out (for now!)
BrionaIf I don't respond to your posts, it's probably because you're on my 'Ignore' list.0
