I'm just the other side of the r:piver, at least we don't have to pay London prices
Have a look at the bank and budgeting forums for more ideas.
Good on you for being so determined to save for a house at such a young age - you'll be laughing when all your friends are still trying to scrape together deposits in their 30's!!
I'm saving for a deposit too, but will need at least £30-40k as house prices down here are pretty steep (around £270-300k for a 2 bed flat!!)
It'll be a long old road, but it's nice to read about how other people stay motivated and save!!
I know you said you don't really want the hassle of moving banks, but i'd really urge you to look at what's out there in terms of high interest current accounts - it makes a big difference when your savings start mounting up!! You don't have to switch completely, you could easily have 2 accounts and do all the transfers etc. online... I find I'm far less tempted to spend when it's in my "savings" rather tan my current account!!
Good luck with your mission!! I'll be along for the ride!
