    I m still funding 7k pcm into 30 accounts but reckon my balance is now 50k. I m a serial switcher and complainer too when things go wrong. I got 50 GBP compo as new bank messed up some DD s.

    If I had a spreadsheet I d know my weighted avg %, I thought 5.5 but looking at others may be 6.

    Well done everyone

    My figures are as follows:

    • Total number of RSs- 35 including one maturing tomorrow but excluding one currently in process of opening so these cancel out
    • Weighted average: 6.34%

    Thanks @Bridlington1 …. I guess there are a lot of forumite RS fans who have at least one in the process of opening if the comments on the "Top RS" thread are anything to go by! I know myself and Mrs Bobble are keeping a close eye on proceedings 😀

    I'll leave the update until Sunday in case there are a few more anxiously awaiting news from TBS and would like to add another (or two) to their tally 😀.

    I guess the huge interest in RSs lately is a combination of a couple of good rates and the relative dearth in the last month or two of anything remotely exciting!

    I haven't returned figures for a while.

    I currently have 53 RS's open (as of 4th June).

    (I have assumed in that number that my Teachers BS "Everyone" RS is open; still waiting for the third email and for the account to show online with the 10 digit account number; initial payment has been made).

    Monthly payments: £13,830 due to be paid on 1st July

    Weighted average:- too difficult, sorry.

    Current minimum interest rate before opening account :- 5% (I have recently culled a few paying 4% something)

    My plan over the next 12 months is to reduce the total number and be more selective in opening new ones.
