Thanks for your support.

I have found keeping track of all my savings/money earnt much easier if I stick to writing it down as soon as the post comes.

It's also helping to keep me motivated, as when I've had busy weeks and haven't been able to do much, writing things down makes me more determined to make a concerted effort!

I'm going to be opening a new current account online this evening - eventually that should net £100 courtesy of Halifax. (Provided that the application is successful!)

If it wasn't for this self-imposed record-keeping, I'd just keep putting it off until I eventually missed out on the offer! :rolleyes:
