    Good morning everyone. My daily limits has reset so I have managed to transfer the following into the savings account:-

    £1039.00 cafe wages

    £ 608.00 subscription cuts and our mortgage payment amount

    £ 402.18 BTL1 mortgage amount

    £ 114.00 BTL2 mortgage amount

    ______

    £2163.00

    Total so far £2327.02/£38457 = 6.04% :)

    Sadly I think the rest of the month may be slower progress but at least I'm past the 0% mark ;)

    My percent may go backwards for a while as DH officially on SSP wages now. Booo. I need to sit him down later and try to have a scrub things of the budget talk! 😂

    that is very hard to go through, from experience. It's good to have something else to focus on. Good start money wise ! 😁
