    I'm not sure I'd put the words AGM and enjoy in the same sentence - endure maybe 🤣 There's very little social chat it's basically we're here to discuss the park not to chit-chat. Anyone who goes off topic soon gets cut short, it's like being at work 😆

    In money news I've moved £2k into the emergency fund from the matured regular saver. I had to check I'd got the right account numbers several times before I pressed the send button in the banking app. I know it's the right account so it's just me being paranoid. The remaining balance has been moved to the current account to cover DS's wedding present and any associated expenses. Then I closed the poor interest account the savings had been moved to. 

    Also received the £25 survey money from Opinium so that's been set aside to go towards my next catch up with friends.

    ha ha.....I am the same with making sure I had the right acc numbers before pressing buttons.  Wanted to amend the transfers that go direct from the current account each week when DH gets paid, and I cancelled the ones to the old savings pots and then set up the new one, and had to double check.  I am the same when I do any sort of online order though, making sure I have the correct card linked etc.  Think I possibly have too many savings pots now, that are sitting empty, so might close some of them.
