  • Good afternoon!

    Well I've reviewed my finances and taken the decision to transfer most of my PADs to my highest instant access savings account paying 5.02% from the one they were in paying 4.84% (which is still not too shoddy).

    I've adjusted my signature to reflect the Christmas savings and EF as complete and now started a new PAD pot for "Saving for Fun Stuff & Holiday Spends 2024" with a rather ambitious target of £1k.  I've started it off with a PAD of £60 for today please and will now continue with that target from existing bits of interest, cashback, eBay sales etc.  Thank you for letting me put this out there!

    Well done @Sallyforth
    It’s always worth switching things around for a few extra percentage points. Much easier to do these days in the internet age.
