Good on you toot!
Even though you're putting my £400 to shame........I'll raise you (um actually I won't - Mr C would have a breakdown if I made him op any more!). I will gradually sneak it up, but don't tell!
It's good to be getting going again though.
We also have £2000 in premium bonds which will go to the mortgage but it's our joint emergency fund for now - and it's returned a heady 3% which is more than our 2.55%.
Can't wait for May 1st to get properly started.

Well, the first £400 is in the joint account ready to op on 1st May. I think if we have a Barclays account we can also op random other lump sums, so I plan to open one to facilitate this. Can't wait for May 1st!

Excitement! I don't have to wait until May 1st! It seems they have actioned the op from April 1st! We have started! And it feels good! (Lucky we had started paying the extra into the joint account.....)
