De-stress thinking of the ISA rates you will encounter after receiving your certificate from FSCS - try finding a new home for your Icesave savings. Today BOE expected to reduce the bank rate by another 1%, some pundits predicting a drop of 1 and 1/2%.
Should be able to get 0.00001% on ISA if we get the certificates before Xmas.

Morning all. I managed to open a Halifax fixed rate ISA over the phone this morning. At 5% for a year. I arranged with them that if I funded the account this morning at my local branch, they would fix it at 5% rather than whatever it ends up at after today, so I hot-footed it down there, wrote a cheque from my linked account where the compensation went into. They agreed to accept the ISA certificate once it arrived from the FSCS. I told them it would probably be sometime this month but might be longer and they were happy with that. :T

Off to Paris for the week-end tomorrow to de-stress after the last few weeks. Hope everyone has a good week-end.

Has anyone received the paper based claim form for fixed rate icesave accounts?

One of my fixed rate account is due to mature on 7/12/08.

Thanks.

You sound like an Eco Warrior, why not go the whole hog, and use urine, it's less wasteful and much less likely to refreeze. How I'd like to see an AA spokesman demonstrate this technique on TV. :rotfl:

:rotfl: I'm not full of (that much) p*ss although others may disagree !

I started to get severe chest pains. Stabbing pains followed by hours of feeling like my chest was being crushed by a summo wrestler and very shallow breaths which hurt!

Sounds like the other half moaning about my lovemaking.

This is at odds with what pretty much everyone else opening a Halifax fixed rate ISA has been told. Most have been given only 30 days to provide the certificate, some were told 60 days. Confusion reigns within Halifax it seems.

I can guarantee it'll not be as goods as yours.

Sorry, I need to know what is scarier: letting your kids cross the road on their own or being accosted by this 70's "pop icon"?
