    £500 into Kent Reliance regular saver 4%
    £280 into my regular saver isa (which I could put£1250 into each month) ( over 2%)
    £70 into my normal isa
    I did put other money away but it is only for short term saving. Eg Christmas but I don't count that.
    Thinking about opening an m and s account so that I can get 6% regular saver again. ( I dream of the days when I used to get 8%).

    How have you found Kent Reliance? I was considering opening a regular saver account with them also.

    Late declaring for July as just got back off honeymoon. It's a minus figure again (as expected), although surprised to see I didn't do too much damage to my overall savings considering the wedding and almost 3 weeks away in USA. We do have a hotel bill on my wife's credit card to clear at the end of the month before interest is added but hopefully won't affect my savings too much.

    -£629 for July.

    Hoping for a positive figure in August and back to normal figures September onwards.

    Congratulations to SF, great to hear of your safe arrival. Hope all is going well :)

    Doesn't it make you feel all warm and tingly to say "my wife"? Congratulations and I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon in my birth country.

    Our next anniversary will be our 38th, where have all the years gone?
