    I have now had a very kind friend make me a spreadsheet (cos I'm rubbish at stuff like that) so next weeks task is to fill it in, at which point I'll have my figures. I'm going to guess 55 total for me and my wife's added together.

    What? You've managed to administer ~55 RS's without a spreadsheet!! I'm impressed  :)

    Hi Bobbles, 
    I will soon be sliding down the charts and out of the top 40 soon. (reminds me of sitting by the radio on a Sunday afternoon with my tape recorder, waiting to tape the records I liked) I have so many maturing this month and last month and I am adding a couple, but gawd knows how far down the charts I will slip.

    I do like your little league table though, it adds a bit of fun.   cheers bobbles and cheers to the OP for starting the thread.
    Corduroy pillows are making headlines! Back home in London now after 27years wait! Duvet know it's Christmas, not original, it's a cover.

    Thanks AD ... when you're happy to do so, send me your new figures.

    Good memories of my dad with his tape recorder, me and my brother, all sat in front of the stereogram in the late 1950's  - early 60's listening to POTP. It was torture for us young 'uns to have to stay quiet for an hour, as dad only had a microphone to pick up the sound from the speakers (and us two if we moved). In my teen years I discovered a way of linking the stereogram directly to the tape via a modified lead ... earning me huge brownie points from my dad for leaving out the microphone and producing "noise-free" recordings  :)

    I cherish the fact that the enforced silence unintentionally encouraged a life-long interest in pop music and even a spell in music retail and running a music venue as a career!

    Enough of that ... I'll get back to Regular Savers!

  • Right......lots of changes:-
    * Start with 23
    * 5 matured, only I renewed (Nationwide)...(not renewed YBS, TSB, HSBC, Virgin.)
    * Add 2 new. (Scottish, Progressive).
    * Add 3 not previously included. (Halifax, Manchester, RBS.)
    * Add my PA (wife) who has 9
    I make that 33 if I've counted them correctly.

    Thanks STC, if you like I could amend your £pm (6000) and £value (40000) if you feel it appropriate to supply the figures.

    Given we are in a rate cutting environment it's surprising how many decent paying ones they are. I'm funding 5 that range from 6% - 7.5% and that's over £2Kpm. I have others under 6% that I no longer fund or only sporadically.

    Most of it variable though, whereas in 2023 with rates increasing it was a lot easier to get a 6%+ fixed rate product.
