Had an odd save moment. Not sure all will agree but I'm going to call it saving.....
£200. Cuz the OH transferred too much money on to our travel credit card. And the CC co didn't like that we were in credit. So I went to a ATM and took out the £200. So I'm using that for my shopping instead of the card I normally use. I could, of course, simply have used the CC that was in credit but the co kept sending me cranky messages. Turns out I could have simply got them to transfer the money into our account that we have set up for the DD but it didn't occur to me at the time.
So new total is £254.26/365 for 47.
