    See now your debt free you will have to learn the art of saving :)

    The guys on the savings board are all really friendly, you could get nearly 2% more than you do already shopping around.

    Savings rates change all the time so it is one of those things you have to move about.

    I want to save £20,000 before we buy a house so i defo need to get saving savvy!

  • My Egg saver pays 6.3% (or maybe 6.4%?)... you should open a new one jenjade to get the better rate.

    I'm not looking forward to the Post Office run on Monday as I have a couple of bulky items to post and the queue is always ridiculous on a Monday :rolleyes:

    How long have you had it Jen.

    Most savings accounts rates only last a year as many include a bonus so you are better switching often.
