    I am tempted to get some PB now. I have a S&S ISA but don't want all my eggs in one basket and risk free savings would provide some balance.
    June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!
  • Once my mortgage is done I was going to up my newly started pension from £100 to £250 but I may put the extra into the PB instead. I dont have an ISA yet.
    There is so much to look into as to where to save to get the best from my the money that I will save for the house improvements. My mind cant cope with it all.

    Have found a lovely present for DD an amaz and have just redeemed £10 from pineC and have £10 voucher from amaz GC offer, thought I would get £10 off ValOp too but theres is £15 grr and I have £10.80 there now. Not sure if I will get another £4 this week or whether to just go ahead and order it.

    Hi ND

    I also do VO surveys. If you select the reward option for 'Love to Shop' vouchers - which cash out at £10.50 - you can convert those Am@zon vouchers on the LTS site. It takes a few mins more but saves waiting for the higher cashout point. I do it regularly :)
