So far it is NOT getting easier as the week goes by. I am soooo tired this evening.
Had a bit of a shock yesterday when there seemed to be a lot less money in my wallet than I thought there ought to be, but found £50 cash on the drawers in my bedroom this morning. I must have got distracted half way through putting it into the wallet.
Anyway, it means I won't need to go to the cash point until after my tax credits have been paid in, so I've moved £100 across from my current account to my savings account.

I don't start back at uni til February

Well, you'd better hang onto my best wishes and use them in Feb when needed. Perhaps you can put them in a high interest account and stooze them to get even more best wishes by the time your term does start.

Well, I've finally made time to look into the question of kids' savings accounts and there's not much out there with any signficant interest. I don't want to commit to a regular saver just at the moment, and the best fixes are no better than the best easy access, so I'm going for easy access with the Virgin young saver at 3%. I should be able to get to a branch some time next week, which should make the process easier if I can take all our ID stuff in rather than doing things by post. Wish an online option was available.Starting again 13/4/19Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99Total owed: £28,801.49

That's not lazy - that's just wisely not wasting energy but instead trying to recharge ready for tomorrow. But then I have to say that because I'm lying on my bed too.
