ISA need help

The wife and i both work so we pay tax. As i understand it we both can put £3k in to a cash isa. Is it worth doing even for say 6 months rather than leaving it in my egg saver. Ive read alot of this use it or loose it re the isa, open one before 5 april, but when i went to first direct web page it stated i couldnt open an 04/05 isa as i didnt bank with them and i had to wait till 6 april to open one. Am i loosing out if i wait till 6 april to get first directs 6.24% till oct(then i would transfer out if i had cash left) or should i go with say A/L and its 5.40% we`ve only got 3k each so we can only have 1 isa each anyway. Am i thinking along the right lines any help would be greatfull. CHEERS RICHARD
