Sorry a bit late to this as only just spotted it in the weekly update.

The obvious one as a money saver is to make use of Martin's advice and transfer it to your newly opened in January Alliance and Leicester 10% savings account getting a £50 bribe as well.

Then when the bank ask for it back you've made the interest and got £50 for your efforts as well.



Good luck
