My final ISA transfer has completed 🎈! After first submitting the request on 31 May, then having to re-submit, then having to re-submit again, the money has reached my new account today! That's an extra £13/month in interest coming my way (and yes, I do feel like I've worked for it this time 🙄!)Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

First of the month round-up....
- Cards minus savings: £12,885.11 (DOWN £3,683.62) 🤯
- Savings for retirement: £137,297.71 (UP £5,060.64) 🤯
- 8.61 years to go
Concluded the final ISA transfer - which took ages!
Received a £101 tax rebate - which took ages!
Gave up on tracking grocery spends - which didn't take ages, but I got bored!
Gave up on the Trading 212 ISA (I didn't like the app, so wantonly relinquished the slightly higher interest rate and transferred it out) - which completed within one day!
Successfully transferred the £8.60 of accrued interest from my niece's old ISA into her new one - can't recall how long this one took, about a week 🤔🤷♀️?
Cleared another credit card 🥳! The next one doesn't expire until January now, so I can focus on building up the offset war chest for the next few months 👍
A good month!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
