  • Happy (:confused:) Monday everyone,

    Another £50 paid into my ISA today, slowly slowly getting there. First Direct have confirmed my free £100 will be with me within 21 days so that will be winging its way over to the ISA as soon as it comes. Hopefully I will hit the £4k mark shortly :D.

    My friend and I are meant to be doing a car boot sale this weekend - if we do end up doing it, I'm aiming for £50. Better go and text her to see if she's still up for doing it.... :rolleyes: x

    When I moved to FD, they credited my account with my joining fee very quickly, so I am sure you won't have to wait too long!

  • Thanks Hypno :)

    Free money is very welcome indeed - I mentioned to a couple of my colleagues that I was switching banks and raved to them about the £100 incentive - they looked at me like I was mad and make grumblings of 'that's an awful lot of effort for £100...' :rolleyes: If only they knew about some of the other MSE things I do, they would realise that's just the tip of the iceberg ;):cool::D x

    Good to hear of progress and I hope the transfer of current a/c goes well.
  • Thanks Stuart :D

    Plans for the rest of the week are to send some pending cheques off once the bank transfer sorts itself out, and to have NSDs until Saturday. Given that I have only managed two so far this month that could prove tricky :rolleyes::o

  • All paperwork for new savings account sent off today including a £50 cheque to open the account :D I'm so close to £4k now...

    All of my banking transferred over today and fortunately nothing went wrong so that's a sigh of relief I can breathe... x

  • Another £100 paid into savings today. Not sure if I will crack the £4k mark before next payday, we'll have to see how the rest of the month pans out... x

  • Hi guys,

    Just popping in after a lovely week away - feel very refreshed now. Mortgage has been overpaid by £450, tomorrow is number-crunching day to see what we can OP by in October, should be circa the £750 mark but I'll report back tomorrow.
