I have got the money and ISA certificate from Icesave, but where is the best place to transfer it? Thanks in advance for advice.

Now there's a question and a half! Please see kazza's page for best available deals at the moment (please check websites as these are moving all the time).

I initially had my ex Icesave funds with Nat West before Christmas at 4.61%, this has now dropped to 3.61%. I have decided to cut my loses at go for a 1 year Fixed Rate ISA with Julian Hodge Bank at 4% (sick of seeing my savings plummet!).

I really depends on how long you can tie the cash up for / how much access you need to your money as to which is best for your situation.
An Isa bond option may also be worth considering if you are nervous about tying things up for too long (This means you can take advantage of guaranteed earnings if interest rates begin to drop, but have a way out if they start to rise and better deals are available elsewhere. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/best-cash-isa#best ).

Best advice is to look through financial websites. There are many of them.Mortgage free

It's a tough call really. I am moving Icesave and Barclays ISA's now that I have my certificate and I have filled up this years allowance to Scottish Widows. 1.5% bonus (can't go below 1.5%) and no get out clauses, so IF offers become available at the end of the tax year, I can switch it again to hopefully something better!0
