    I decided to round down the balance on my current account, which has gradually been creeping up :D. I transferred another £15.64, to get it back down to my pre-Christmas usual start of the week balance.

    really impressed by the totals, and was thinking, even if I dont hit my target, it doesnt mean I've failed, as I'm still a hell of a lot better off having the savings ratehr than not
    No longer an accidental landlord, still a wannabe millionaire:beer:

    Deffo! £6000 is my target which is rather ambitious but I will be sooo much better off this time next year whether I reach my target or not!

    I think it's better to save something, rather than nothing! :)
