Interest rates forecasted to go up but will saving rates do the same?
Hands up all those who reckon that most banks & building societies won't put up their saving rates when the boe rate goes up later this year as it is expected to do. Well they managed to get away with it when the rate was going down so why not scrounge even more out of us and blame competetiveness/money markets?

Do you check your bond winnings online?
If you have premium bonds, do you go to the NS&I website at the start of each month to see if you have won? Or do you wait and see if Ernie sends you a nice little bonus in the mail?
