I do. New though so can't really pass comment yet. Opened very easily, I have a log in already as I have a savings account with them and it showed up the next day :T. Card etc arrived promptly. The real test will be next week when they start the dd transfer :eek:
I too was worried about what I had heard about S, however there is a survey on MSE (or links to an external one) which rated the 123 separately from S as a whole and it rates very highly. Here's hoping :T
Happy EasterA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Thanks everyone,
In March, admittedly, there was a lot of money I could readily get my hands on (credit control etc) but I'm pleased with the result.
I have another finance thingy I should add in but it's only about £300 - an interest free credit thing when I bought my sofas. It's £22 a month.
Ill get the balance and add it on - then I'll be truly on board.

Been reading more in the savings board, it seems there are mixed messages about getting the money on more than one n@tionwide account ... Maybe best just one account and play it safe just now ?0
