I've just changed S&S ISA providers...

That's interesting - can I ask why you wanted to change?

Geoffers, I was paying about £250 pa to Charles Stanley. I think they are very good, especially if you are doing a lot of buying and selling individual shares. Me though, I just use some of my ISA allowance to buy into a Vanguard fund every couple of years (and I won't even be doing that anymore when I retire). It then sits there untouched.

My new provider (IWeb) was £25 to open and transfer into, and £5 per transaction. They seem to be fine if you don't intend doing any complex dealing. I was pleased to see I'd made £700 odd when the fund was sitting in the transfer ether so I didn't lose out in the interim.

Hi, #112 reporting in for June. Managed to save £650 this month. I'm still expecting September and November to be bad months, so not changing my target as yet.

June has been quite a calm spending month so managed £1151.81 this month.

No 78 declaring £1131.81 for June which takes me over half way to my target. Just over a quarter was interest but the rest was just what I kept squirrelling away.


Also got an unexpected bonus this month but am keeping that back for holiday spending this year.

£1317.46 for June; good month! Helped by rebates for spending earlier in the year, but I'll take it.

Bit late with my May update because I had my finance exams yesterday, glad its all over (until next year!) So here goes my May update:

Total saved: £952.73

I'm generally finding it harder and harder to keep track of my savings as the number of accounts increase and hence more accounts I got to keep track of! I remember only a few years ago my saving was super simple with only a few accounts to remember, now I've got several accounts to maximise interest as well as 0% credit card which I'm stoozing (acknowledging this as a negative balance on my savings).

I also find that my savings spreadsheet just gets bigger and bigger and bigger! (I add a new column for every new account I have, with details of the account in the top row. Info such as interest rate, maturity, any early exit penalties etc)..

Great numbers elsewhere, happy saving all! :T

Reporting £421.56 for the month of June.

Just got back from a lovely weeks holiday, which explains why my figure is lower than normal for 2019.

Great saving all and hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather!
