Potted £1 coin today.It had been in my purse for ages, to use in trolleys. A few weeks ago I was given a "goodie bag" at ASDA, which included a trolley token, so the £1 can be potted

First things first…. Apologies to @Saver-upper for not responding to your request for the details of the easy access savings account that pays 4% interest. It’s the Santander Edge Savings Account. However, you can, by now, probably easily beat this rate without too much investigative work!

So, on to my (our) update for February. As I will be allocating funds to my challenge pot/savings account on a monthly basis, for simplicity,  I’ve decided to take advantage of not having a council tax payment this month! 

Because of this I’m going to pay December’s monthly figure as it’s the highest figure of any month and I want to have an easier time (payment wise) when December finally arrives. Also, my wife has agreed with this line of thinking and therefore we will both be adding this figure for February’s payment….I hope that all makes sense!

Therefore, my (our) update for February is:

Oooooohhh, thank you very much Topscooby. I am switching to to the Santander Edge current account at the moment, for their £200 switch. My intention was to then open up their SE savings account also, so that is great, thank you.

You are most welcome @Saver-upper   Unfortunately, I didn’t qualify for the £200 bonus as I didn’t use the switching service as I wanted to keep my HSBC current account open  However, now I have two different bank accounts my options are looking better for the future regarding any bonuses on offer…and I fully intend to take advantage of this
