enthusiasticsaver said:£1000 gone to savings this morning but like an idiot I have sent it to my YBS Christmas regular saver instead of our joint savings account. That means I have to wait for it to bounce back as the regular saver has already been topped up this month and only takes £150. I need to distinguish between them on my banking app as the account numbers are very similar.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes to bounce back. Has anyone else done anything stupid like that? That will teach me not to do online banking early in the morning in a rush.Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
