    So jealous of @nikki2002-2008 getting paid already! I'm now limping through the rest of January!!  :#

    I have stashed £10 today and sorted a better savings account for continued stashing with a better interest rate and a limit to 3 withdrawals per year, so that will work nicely  o:)
    Great work on getting the better interest rate, it's always a nice feeling to get something from the bank instead of the other way around!  I've added the £10 to the tracker

    Describing this as a 'good' start is an understatement... Well done! I've added these to the tracker for you and your DD's
