    Well done!

    £38 added to the ISA today so total is now £5,038 (£9,788 in total savings).

  • I'm looking forward to £65 going into my savings from quidco after the 15th (virgin cashback)
  • Well done, from your username I', guessing you are about my age. My savings currently stand at just under £400, will be relieved when I get to over £20,000 in a couple of years.

    I've just turned 25 :eek: I started saving when I was 23. It's good that your starting to save - every little helps :D

    Hoping to hit the £21,000 at the end of the month if everything goes to plan :)

  • I'm annoyed with Santander. The online banking for my credit card doesn't work. I log on and get an error message and it gives me a phone number to ring. Twice I have rung this number, been given a different number to ring (should have written it down the first time, eh), phoned that, spoken to very nice people who assured me that a temporary block had been applied to my account in error, that it was a known problem that has affected many customers in the last 6 weeks, and that it takes 2 working days to remove. Of course, two working days later it's still there. So, I am annoyed with Santander.

    I want to know how I did for July but I've no idea how much I spent on my credit card. It's the card I use abroad so I didn't bother keeping track of my spending as I usually do, it's easier to pick it off the credit card statement.

    I'm annoyed. With Santander. And myself.

    I can finally, finally, finally log onto the online banking. It's been about 2 months! Totally ridiculous! Updated my August totals now - only two weeks late.

  • It drives me insane. I just have to view my transactions online, it's caused me quite a lot of stress not being able to. I write transactions down, but there's always the worry I've forgotten one...

    I don't understand what's so difficult about being able to view statements online!

    Hi Skaps - i've been looking at property websites for a while but think i am going to hold fire for a little bit - trying to get a 15% deposit - need about another £4,000 or so - then i'm gonna start looking - no rush for me :)
