    SC I would have transferred my cash Lisa, but Nutmeg wouldn’t accept transfers in and I’m not sure any of the others would have either, just be aware.

    KP, I’ve only had mine open this year, but DH has had an s&s ISA with them for a long time and it seems to have outperformed the market. They rebalanced away from UK at key moments to avoid Brexit instability affecting growth it seems. I’m generally more of a fan of passive funds but wasn’t convinced about the options available for LISAs, so decided to stick it in there. Personally I put in £3000 this year, topped up by government to £3750 and I’m up £335 on that since April, so pretty good in the scheme of this year. Hth.

    So much activity on MFW at the moment - I can't keep up! No, literally, I can't keep up 😮!

    Great to see some new diaries starting up too, I hope they last the course - they dilute the exposure to some of my waffle, if nothing else 😀!
    Hehe sorry I've posted like 3 times in less than 24 hours which I don't think has helped :lol:

    Your waffle is always appreciated SC! And Ruby, you're allowed to post as much as you like (on your diary at least!) - no one is being forced to read it! :smile:

    Normally things would get quieter after the Twixtmas rush and NY resolutions, but with so many being furloughed, maybe it won't this year.
