Off the starting blocks, well done! I've updated the spreadsheet with your £22coconurtaler said:#19
£22 added to a TSB savings pot today for week 1. I've used a random sequencing website to create the order that I will add to the pot. The interest isn't the best, but I'll probably use this to transfer to a regular saver with better interest once a month.
I also need to bring the credit card balance down although it is 0% interest so not desperate.
