    slowyfading & MrDT - fancy seeing you here too!! :D . Hope you're both being good.

    I got paid yesterday so transferred my 25% over (it's not as much as it may sound as I'm only part time). Nearly filled my ISA this year, but don't think I'll be able to manage the full amount now. But nearly at 25% of my first goal :j

  • I love charts and graphs. I'm a little anal / obsessed and have loads of spreadsheets set up for savings goals, mini goals, spending, budgets......

    :D

    I have spreadsheets too!

    Just checked my ISA and I only had £25.35 remaining, so I transferred that over and have now filled my allowance :j.

    Am I too late to join this? I am desperate to get on the housing ladder as I hate renting and want a place of my own. It's going to be an uphill struggle for me as I want to buy in London. I have tried living in other parts of the country and just ended up pining for London! Plus most of the decent jobs related to my career are in London. I have been investigating some of the different options they are instigating in London for us impoverished first-time buyers.

    I am in the process of transferring my ISA. I cannot remember what I have in there! As soon as I get the paperwork I will add my "amount saved" total to my sig.
