    £9.86 final payment here making £120.04 total interest for the switch which is not too shabby. I have emptied the account after the final £250 was put into the regular saver but I'll keep it open - at the least as it's useful for a future switch at the least with 2x DD on the account to qualify and I just left them there
    If you haven't usded your DDs ssince the switch last year, probably best to pull them again to double check they haven't gone dormant :)

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
