    Hi all. Apologies for the delay - been bogged down with uni work this week aswell as work and a toddler :) so sometimes there may be delays in number placement. However, feel free to participate in the meantime until I can log on and reorganise :)

    Soooo, welcome to all newcomers atolaas, xcarlyx, Deleted_User, onward and Indie Kid. I have allocated you all a number! Happy saving :)

    In answer to the question "when do we open the pot", we'll that is entirely up to you. I personally save from 1st jan - 30th nov and use the savings for Xmas shopping :D
    Current Mortgage balance - £363,785.35/£420,000 (highest point Oct 2022).
