Where after Iceland?

Are people opening accounts ready to receive their funds from Icesave etc? Some accounts seem to take a while to set up, I don't want my savings to hang around in my current a/c (if things go that way). Any ideas? suggestions? Monthly interest will be important to me, It seems that setting up an a/c for monthly would be difficult with only a nominal (say £10) deposit.

One useful account (IMHO) is the NatWest esaver, especially if you have a Natwest current account, it's instant access and you can transfer money across the accounts instantly, ATM they are paying a good rate (including a 12 month bonus) of 6.50%AER , if it's linked with a Natwest CA you don't need to keep a lot in the CA but can quickly move money across if you need to spend!
I have had such an account for several years and have just opened another to get the bonus, all I need now is my Icesave cash!
