    Thanks Maria - I'm really chuffed I've won something! Feels likeages since I had a decent win :)

    My ISA rate... is non-existant :S I'm waiting for my certificate from Icesave so I can open a new one. I'm going to go for Scottish Widows I think, as it pays 4.6%. Could you not switch yours?

    that's pretty good still, probably not worth transferring it.

    Last week mine was 4.75% and i thought that was bad! Now 3.00% is very poor. I did think of transferring but its linked to my bank account so very easy to transfer money so im hoping it will go back up soon so i dont have to switch.

    Oh bummer. Never mind... I've got a 6.3% fixed savings account (rate ends next august) so all my money is going into there as even after tax, it's still better than the top rate ISAs at the moment!

    Hope you're feeling better soon, LM xxx
