    Do you realise how much I hate being single!!! Even telling them the bank balance doesnt interest them.

    Because I'm freelance/contract I've thus far resisted the temptation of an ISA – I like having my money very instant access even if I am paying tax on it.

    Yesterday I found out that my contract has just been extended till the end of March (yay!) so I will be earning enough between now and then to allow me to save something in my instant access account and fill an ISA. I think I'll open one with Egg (currently 3.55%)... just got to look into how secure I think Citibank are first! :p

    Congrats about the contract extension! That must be a relief :D
    ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)

    Hm yeh it is rather annoying! Its ok for me because if I end up being single (although very unlikely) I am quite close to one of my mates so I would just hang out with him more often lol

    I know the feeling! On the plus side, my coupled-up friends spend a small fortune when they're in relationships (I'm far too MSE for that!) so there is that consolation.
