    Do Santander do a regular saver for £300 a month? I thought it was just £200 unless it changed!!

    Sorry it's £200.

    The starting pistol has fired...most of my transfers have made it this month:

    First Direct Regular Saver: 300.00 which also matures this week so there'll be a nice bit of interest to come in also.
    TSB Regular Saver: 200.00
    Lloyds Regular Saver: 200.00
    M&S regular Saver 250.00
    Sealed Pot: 55.48

    I have also upped my mortgage overpayment by another 100 to a total of 300 pcm - not sure whether to count this as savings?

    Anyway month to date total (without the mortgage op) therefore is a healthy: £1005.48 :j

    Will send an update form at the end of the month.

    Pay day today and I was disappointed to realise that since last pay day in mid December I've only saved £298. Will be back at the end of January to put a proper Jan total. Need it be £1k if I'm going to meet my target.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    #025 declaring -£652.91 for January:(. It's going to be a slow start to the year for me with the OH on maternity leave until May. My Target was £-100net this month but the Christmas hangover and car repairs scuppered those plans.

    Onwards and upwards:).
    You should pay attention to the needs of the moment - otherwise there is no future. But to ignore the future is foolish - living solely for the moment leaves nothing for when the next moment arrives.
