Continuing the "me, me, me" theme, it looks like the interest is being added daily. This is making a total mess of my spreadsheet!!!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
Cleared 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️!!! In 5 years, 1 month and 29 days
Total amount repaid: £72,307.03. £1.10 repaid for every £1.00 borrowed
Finally earning interest instead of paying it!!!4 -
T212 do that, wee ping in the middle of the day to say I've had my wee £1.65 or whatever 🙂4

If they told me that would me useful, but instead the balance is creeping up and there are no transactions showing. I can't decide whether to update the spreadsheet daily so that it matches the balance, or leave it until the interest is officially added (ie shows as a transaction) and live with the spreadsheet not matching for 30 days of the month. Option A probably better, I think 🤔
P.S. Will shut up now about my first-world problems 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

OK, so three more moans about the ISA....🤣
1. The minimum deposit is £100
2. Deposits can only be made in whole pounds (what's the deal with the hating on pennies these days 🤷♀️?)
3. The interest is being added faster than I am making money via surveys etc, so I am feeling like a total slouch that my money is working harder than I am 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

OK, so I'm secretly quite enjoying adding on my little bit of interest to the spreadsheet every day. Passive income is the dream, right 🤷♀️?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Month end spreadsheets are my guilty pleasure, I can't believe that one day I'll actually update it and go "we're done!"

Is an MSE'r ever really done though 🤔? Even when money is abundant, I doubt we'll ever get past feeling the need to tinker a bit!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

So "Your" (my) Nectar Prices are now available without using smart shop and feeling like a twit. This might be my new favourite thing 😀!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

That is a sensible move. I've been caught out before and will purposefully go back round the checkouts to scan the same groceries if it means saving a bit! Should always have been that way. Wonder if it's mimicking Morrisons (who recently introduced the idea of retrospectively applying offers in their app within 24? Hours of a shop)?4
