  • Right, jobs are done for the day...... of to my Mums in a minute, via getting Connor from nursery.
    You can tell I've been off work this week because the post count on my diary has doubled! :D
    Oh yeah, opened OH an ISA today.... only gonna put £10 a month in it for now, just to show him how to save! Then when he is DF, I will put more in there for him, and start him off on budgetted savings (birthdays/christmas etc)...... I WILL MAKE THIS MAN A DFW BEFORE I DIE!!!! :D

    well done on your budgetting and saving mission and good luck converting your OH.
    Whats an Icesave account? Never heard of it?
  • Icesave is an online savings account from Landisbanki - they are Icelandic

    Oh right, what ade you choose them as opposed to a high street building soc / bank savings account?
    Im intrigued because the advice when you have debts is put your savings onto them, rather then stashing money. But like you I would like to have a savings for all the annual things, particularly car related stuff that all falls at the same time of year.

    Hope your exDH doesnt put a spanner in the works for you. Was it an amicable split?
