    What an amazing amount.  Well done everyone! :smiley:

    I've decided to have a go at making free money by switching bank accounts this year, so I've just set up a new one via MSE's guidance and will see how that goes.  It's the TSB one, which was perfect because you choose the account(s) you want to switch/close after opening rather than as part of the application process, and it doesn't need a minimum pay-in nor are you required to move 2 direct debits.  But, I thought I'd set it up that way anyway and move 2 small DDs over for future switching (as long as it doesn't involve the pay-in being my salary as I don't want to close my current main account).  My plan was foiled when I discovered that the 2 small DDs I planned to use, were in fact recurring card payments instead.  Anyway, I've still moved them over as they will keep the account ticking over and to meet the switch criteria I'm going to use it as my spending account so the debit card gets hammered to get the cashback, which should total £160.  Plus I get £22+ cashback off Quidco eventually.  In the meantime, I've picked one DD to change but need to do it over the phone :neutral: and I'm trawling through my main bank account to find another small-ish DD to move :lol:

    Oh my word, @Sue-UU, that is an incredible amount!  Well done to us all for being so disciplined and saving what we can do.  It really is "if you look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves"!

    Speaking of pennies, I've potted another £2.80 from TopCashback and then some "odds and sods" from elsewhere.  Can't remember how much.  :D
