    I have updated mine. £197 in March after having to fork out for lots of yearly renewals including insurance! Feel lucky to have managed anything.

    Nice! Maturing regular saver? Loads of savings? A really nifty little bank account with a skyhigh interest rate? :)

    This was a regular saver ISA at 2.07%

    (I also have two other regular savers at 4% and 5%)

    Tomorrow I am going to bank £120 of £2 coins into my ISA.

    Another £500 for me in March, however over the weekend I have seen my bet365 account rise from £70 to £165, had a very lucky weekend (skill) and some of that will probably go towards April savings ! :)

    £2015 pounds for me in April. Really knuckling down now to meet this goal.
  • I haven't updated in a while but thanks to a PPI pay out and an insurance pay out my ISA now stands at 7000 pounds.

    I appreciate it isn't saving as such but I could have bought a more expensive car or a holiday and I didn't, so to me it is savings.

    if it is against the rules I can pull out.

    Buffythedebtslayer, I'm hoping to get some money back from the tax man that I will put away into my savings. Other prop have saved their PPI returns.

    Its possible, maybe the 166 million went through personal accounts and a payment of £400 odd was the actual amount gained from Panama for admin services :rotfl:
