    Hi all I have just transferred some more money into my xmas account so I now have £58 in there :) that takes me up to 27th Feb without 'having' to put any in. I may put cashback/odds&sods in there as they come in though. Good to see it building up!

    Still on £70 I built up before Christmas 2016. Now set up a Christmas savings pot in my B account with a £365 goal and automatic fortnightly transfers into it. Easier for me to set it and forget it.
