  • Woop - I've just transferred £15 into my savings account to cover me for January. I thought seeing as though the amounts were small to begin with I'd do it in one go and get ahead of myself while I have some spare Xmas cash left!

    Good luck everyone!
    2015 - I am determined to lose at least 3 stone in weight and I must pay off at least one of my credit cards...If I keep telling myself, I might start believing it!!! :D

    Aesop has tempted me over, and I am going to really try and give this one a go (as well as the £5 a day one).

    I have just opened a savings account for this, as I'd love to save up for our first holiday abroad next year :)

    lovely to see you here hun

    I have just took money out of my tin and put back in my purse.
    I have opened an online Halifax saving account. So it is easier to transfer, also adding £10 a week, any swagbucks earnings, any ebay earnings, lottery winnings and also rounding my money to the nearest £5 or £10 every week too.
    At least that way its all together, safe and gaining interest, all be it little but in need of emergency i can transfer it at anytime. (starting to do online shopping so will be less tempted to spend if only my DS dinner money and few coins in my purse)
