Lots of good savings going on here. Our account had almost £1000 left in it this morning before our pensions went in so I am moving that over to savings. There will be a sizeable chunk going out in July to pay for our holiday though.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
