Savings Accounts

Hiya (please bare with me as i do suffer from grammer problems)


i meight sound like a sheep here bbbaaa :eek: NorthernRock :eek: aaaaaarrr



Ok it has hit me i meight be doing the wrong thing with my savings



i have a direct savings which is just under three figures


with the fsa you are covered 90% to 35k?

Is it better if i set up another 2 or 3 accounts with other saving firms? so i have 3 to 4 pots under the 35k limit


so if the worse comes to the worse? my money will be protected if any the banks i am with goes into hard times.

if this is the case? what other savings plans are better or on par as the direct isa which i allready have? hope this makes sence?
Oh well we only live once ;-)
