Barclays 10% regular savings acc
Just noticed that Barclays have stamped 02/05/2006 as the SO credit date in my regular savings. Orginally this was set up to be credited on the 1st of every month. I know that 01/05/2006 was a bank holiday so I suppose this should not have any effect? :confused:

Newcastle Building Society Interest Rates
We felt Newcastle's rate of 4.75%, gross monthly, was good and put our life savings of £35,000 into their savings account, but six weeks later (today in fact) they have just sent us an email saying that they have reduced it to 4.55% gross monthly.

Hi, I have some money to invest and was wondering whether Unit Trusts are worth investing in - I know there are no guarantees, but I was just wondering what sort of return I could expect.
