I sticking £100 in another building society, spending £60.
Then I am going to close the Portman account down as I am already a Nationwide member.
What's everyone else doing.

Waiting for Nationwide to announce it is merging with another tiddler like Portman - leading to the next 'biggest ever merger' of two building societies in which I won't be asked to vote and won't receive a cheque and won't be able to visit any of the new branches because they are too probably far away (But hope that I am already a member of that tiddler-society first!).....under construction.... COVID is a [discontinued] scam0

I got lucky. Ours is enough (£2,720) to pay for next year's summer family holiday
. Almost, but not quite, like the "good old days" of 1997.
I appreciate that it doesn't feel like that to others.0 -
Not bad since its capped at £800 post tax per person.
Hope you have a good holiday, US could be good if the dollar stays weak.0
