    Ziltch on £30k for me this month, missus got £125 on full holding.

    I'm only planning on keeping 12 months of records as I'm only interested in comparing the running 12 month "apparent" interest rate that we are getting.

    So far the return on the last 11 months is 3.35% (equivalent to 4.19% taxable) for my partner on FH, but 3.78% (equivalent to 4.72% taxable) for me on an average holding of £30k. So far I'm getting a higher rate than her with my lower capital holding. I'm not brave enough to be too smug about it though! :) 

    Next month I'll have the full 12 month figures and I'll roll from there.

    FH. £500+£100+2 x £50.
    My best win so far. Happy this month.

    I had been thinking of moving £20k to in ISA  in wife's name  ( she has isa of £20k from last year so can still add to this before this years out) but were paying fees to FA and the ISA company of about £60 a month on my £40k ISA and wife's paying about £30 per month I'm a bit miffed at giving more of the interest away. Not sure what to do.
    This month's win tells me to leave it where it is. I was on 3.85 % for the year on prem bonds so this will take me over 4% now...!
    Hmmmmm.
