    NATIONWIDE Standing order (SO) / 'regular payments'

    I had set up some SO instantly and it will take 24 hours for the first debit to take effect. (although it took longer than I had hoped).

    Now surprised to find I've got 17 after the Newcastle, Hanley and Principality xmas appeared. Plus couldn't resist getting a Zopa curr acc for the 7.1% RS. It's getting addictive. Monthly total £5950.

    Of my 21, I intend to fully fund each month: Saffron, Principality Issue 4, Monmouthshire App Exclusive, Progressive and Principality Christmas (as the 6.5% is fixed) at £1,700. For November, this will be funded from maturities that have occurred in October. Then fund the required amounts: £25 Hanley, £25 Stafford, £10 Coventry (Prize Draw) and £10 Market Harborough (although November will be the last for that one.) Any spare change will go into NatWest DRS. So 9 receiving some form of funding going forward, although I also expect to fully fund Hanley, Melton Adcock and Principality Healthy Habits (in the interests of ensuring sufficient funds for January and also I don’t have my Scottish BS details yet) from income in November. December maturities are bigger, so most of them will be fully funded then.

    Monthly funding for me is therefore £1,770+ although that includes some that aren’t funded with new money and doesn’t count some that are. 

    EDIT: Make that 10 receiving some form of funding - forgot Loughborough though the monthly contribution varies as it’s min £1.
  • I've two RS accounts maturing in November and I've opened 4 more this month 3 of which mature next October so my plan of one RS maturing a month has definitely gone to pot!

    For the benefit of the spreadsheet I currently have 9, which will be down to 7 in November, monthly total £1800.

    You can now legitimately add me to the league table. I am now responsible for two RS accounts with the N/Wide! Thanks for all your help.
    You're welcome! I hope it was all straightforward   :)

    You're on the table!

    Hi Bobbles, I like the update on the chart, there was one thing that made me smile, I noticed that there are a few entries with the partners added, what made me chuckle was if I added my missus,  it would read as  my username   Plus the other half, sorry, its just my mind having a giggle with me.
    Corduroy pillows are making headlines! Back home in London now after 27years wait! Duvet know it's Christmas, not original, it's a cover.

    Oh! Matron! Could be cross between a "Carry On" and a "Confessions of" there, Arthur!  :)

    Yes, it was painless. I prefer to use the laptop for things like opening accounts, but I do like the N/Wide app so used that. I had to wait until the OH came home before I could open his, so we don't have almost consecutive account numbers like we usually do when opening accounts.

    I guess a lot of members will have realised we have a new leader at 82 RS's  :)

    Excel1966 still holds the record (of those submitting figures) for a solo holding of 76 RS's. I wonder if there are still some shy high-roller Forumites out there that, for whatever reason, are keeping their figures close to their chest  :*

    I'll save the next published update until shortly after the 3rd Nov, as I expect a small flurry of updates between now and then.
