#175 Low-spend lockdown update & the best savings/current accounts

Back in January I talked about the pros and cons of no-spend challenges, and suggested you join me with a low-spend lockdown. Well, lockdown has gone on for longer than was suggested, but I'm still going strong - and here's my progress report on the first two months. Plus, my monthly update of the best current and savings accounts as of March 2021.
