however I do quite secretly like having loads of spreadsheets!!

Loads? 🤣
What's wrong with 1? 🤔
I have 1 for money, 1 for whisky and 1 for postboxes!

Exactly, no need for loads.  I have 1 spreadsheet, imaginatively titled "My Finances - 2024", that covers absolutely everything about my finances (and a separate "Property Management" one).  Mind you, it currently has exactly 110 tabs. Maybe it's time for a review of some of the less important tabs on there before the 2025 version is released

Surely, no one is daft enough to keep over £5k in any of those accounts, so it wont have any relevance.

You'd be surprised.  I was talking to someone a while ago who had about 50k savings in a 123 Current Account (capped at 20k) and thought they were doing pretty well because interest payments came in every month.

Would you post a link to the fuller details of the affected T&Cs by this announcement pse. I had forgotten about the £5000 limit and I am due to reach it in a few months time. Is it for example including interest or not in the £5000 limit? 
TIA

Over £5,000 does not affect me but pleased to read the drop is less than the 0.25 basis points rate cut.

The t&c’s can easily be found on either of their websites as these are still active accounts. The interest is paid on the full £5000, but not a penny more, so once the interest is paid on the 2nd of each month I just withdraw it.

Pedantically, that would be 25 basis points (1 bp = 0.01%).
