    Number 28 checking in with a total of £249.46 so far.

    I feel like I'm cheating as I round down my account to £200 every month...this stays there for emergencies or if somewhere will charge to pay with a credit card. So everything above £200 gets split between all my savings account. But I'll only transfer nice round numbers to them all apart from the VSP. So managed to start off a new "Council Tax 2013/14" account with £25 and £21.42 going to the VSP.

    Hopefully will get myself a mid-month transfer as well when I get my petrol expenses paid too :D

    Well done everyone, it all mounts up.

    #101 another 8.60 to add please - total 40.15 :T

    I have been thinking what I will use this money for and i've come up with 2 options
    1) car insurance for next year or
    2) treat myself to either a radley bag or chloe paddington. (as they are quite old now and a lot cheaper than they were.I still would like one and I have been checkng out the outlet shop)

    My head says do the sensible and pay for car insurance but my heart says a treat.
