nilrems camp for the disappointed to seek solace!

I think you will find that if you start a thread here which the powers that be deem inappropriate for this section they will move it over anyway.

or

You could start one in the arms and link it to here so that people know where to go, just keep 'bumping' this thread for a while until people get to know where the new one is.

I followed Harrowing's instructions but was too scared to press the button. :eek: I've read through the forum rules and appartently this savings and investments area is meant to be serious stuff!:eek:

I think we need to start a new thread in what they call The Money Saving Arms, a far more suitable place for our sort of stuff. So I suppose I could open a new thread here Icesaver Veterans Association, post our final role call and ask any one who's interested to join us on a thread in the Arms. Chameleon is an expert I'll yell her.

yes as per my post:

Lets do it! As Nilrem says, we can keep each other up to date on investments and any potential probs. Wish I'd had more warning re Icesave...............:rotfl::rotfl:

WHos up for it then???:D:D

The "Money Saving Arms" is probably a more appropriate container! Gosh, I'm so proud I've finally managed to frighten someone in this group....

It would be nice if we had a thread where people who were 'stung' in the icesave fiasco could in one place discuss all sorts of issues related to savings and perhaps give each other any pointers or warnings in the future so we can hopefully be more prepared and hence avoid any more savings related scares; if perish the though any should occur in the near future!

For example I have savings hopefully on their way to NatWest and as yet am not sure where to put the cash, it would be interesting to hear what others are doing with theirs.

Nilrem, seriously, could you please start it? Nilrem's Reunited (as Suesie suggested). Everyone would contribute, I am sure of that.

Personally, I had quite a few accounts set up in readiness for the Icesave cash; then I withdrew money to feed a few fixed rate accounts, and finally sent off a form and cheque for Kent Reliance 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond yesterday. I will leave a bit in some variable rate accounts (AA looks ok at 6.28% but I'm sure the rate will go down, and NATWest have 6% (including bonus)).

Some people seem quite cagey about declaring their financial dealings. Personally, I am not bothered. The more information people give, the better. I would not have known about the Close Brothers 7% bond if I had not read about it on MSE.

Good luck when the money finally hits the old bank account.
