    I'm looking after 42 at the moment, split 50/50 with the wife. She has no interest at all but is happy that I have another hobby that keeps me out of trouble.  B)
    I’m the same as @Hal17 except I look after my hubby’s who has no interest in it, he just signs forms etc & let’s me get on with it 😂 although he does appreciate the extra money I make out of it and is secretly impressed. We currently have 70 between us with another 2 when Scottish B/S are opened. It started as my hobby and I quickly realised if I “involve” hubby we could double up especially the higher interest ones.

    Two (Zopa and Nationwide), although my Progressive RS matured recently. My policy is to only open an account if I get over £50 in interest.

    Doesn't that apply to the majority of reg savers on offer ?

    OK maybe it was £75 or something. I just don't like the way the payoff is in the future. I like to live in the moment, with Easy Access accounts

    The Natwest regular saver can kind of be used like an easy access account. Unlimited withdrawals, monthly interest, doesn't "mature"... only downside is that you can only deposit £150 per month.

    Oh I don't have a Natwest Current Account. (I have six current accounts)

    You can of course increase the £150 per month significantly by using round ups with the Nat West debit card.

    I've just been told off by Mrs Bobblehat for not including her 4 RS's in the stats (which I cajoled her into applying for)!

    Like RosieRooBear, I get some Brownie points for steering Mrs B's savings on an upward path, and she lets me get on with it provided I don't mention it too much  :)

    Update:-



    I'll update/correct as necessary
