    I've just put cash into BM's 5 year bond at 5.15% I particularly liked this product because you can get out for 90 days interest (after 2 years) which means if you stay in for about 3 years it still outperforms the rates offered on current 2 year bonds. So you are not really tied in for 5 years, but if they stay low for a while you get the higher rate.

    If my prediction holds any water whatsoever, I'm going to be buying up NS&I index-linked certificates like they're going out of fashion (as they well might ...!)
